  • @Madchatthew for the time being at least, yes. This makes the most sense and means the WordPress site can send email.

    Setting up postfix to be a relay isn’t difficult, but seems pointless given that once you pay the first invoice to Hetzner you can turn make full use of it. As you are running virtualmin, it’ll work right out of the gate.

    @phenomlab Sounds good. Thank you again very much!

    So I have gone with gmail with my wifes website to deliver mail and it is working great. With the other website, I think I am going to go with one of the other ones due to them not having a gmail email.

    Which one of those top do you recommend? I was thinking of using the first one or Mailgun since I have used them before. If one of the other ones is better, please let me know. Or if there is one listed that you like better, let me know too.

    Thanks again!

    @Madchatthew mailgun would be my recommendation here. I think they also have a free plan if I’m not mistaken.

  • "I’ve been following this thread — super helpful explanations about MX, relay hosts and port restrictions. Many self-hosted mail setups eventually hit the same deliverability issues, especially when using fresh IPs.

    When I was researching SMTP relays and self-hosted mail reliability, I started keeping a comparison list of tools and services in one place: https://bestaitables.com/
    – not about hosting specifically, but includes several SMTP/ESP providers that can help avoid Postfix deliverability headaches while ports / IP reputation settle.

    If anyone has long-term experience with self-hosted SMTP + DNS set-ups that remain stable, would be great to hear which configurations worked best."

    @cagatay as @downpw stated, there isn’t a native tool that will do this for you. You’d need to either develop your own or ask the nodebb team to assist which will be a paid exercise.

    A more efficient way of including this would be to not over complicate it and leverage a standard iframe (providing the CSP headers of the remote site permit this) like below <iframe src="https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/start/?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5" width="700" height="800"></iframe> This works first time every time on your site as intended.

    @Hari the real issue here is that I don’t think it can be used as a theme for WordPress because of the dependencies it clearly has, including its own Web server. My view here is that this is designed to be a complete development environment outside of the WordPress core.

    @veronikya said in mongodb replica set: The host’s local dns resolution is not configured. The problem of the host’s hosts being unable to be resolved in docker has been solved. Surprisingly Solution: Edit the /etc/resovel.conf file Add 127.0.0.53 One immediate issue I can think of here is that editing resolv.conf directly is no longer supported and not recommended (because the changes do not survive a reboot) - unless you install the resolvconf package?
