Settings

Standalone Wekan Settings: Snap, Docker, Source etc (not Sandstorm)

ROOT_URL / root-url

See https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/4803
Docker/Source/Bundle like this, no quotes, big letters, underscore: ROOT_URL=http://192.168.0.100
Snap like this, single quotes, small letters: sudo snap set wekan root-url='http://192.168.0.100'

Webserver config

Examples:

nginx SSL or without SSL, available at internet:

root-url='https://example.com' or https://example.com/something or https://something.example.com , or with http
port='3001'
Nginx example, proxying to local port 3001 => Wekan at https://example.com

only wekan, no SSL, internal lan, caddy not enabled:

root-url='http://192.168.1.150'
port='80' => Wekan locally http://192.168.1.150

only wekan, no SSL, internal lan, caddy not enabled, wekan at different port:

root-url='http://192.168.1.150:5000'
port='5000' => Wekan locally http://192.168.1.150:5000

wekan's caddy SSL, available at Internet:

root-url='https://example.com' or https://example.com/something or https://something.example.com
port='3001'
Caddyfile example => Wekan at https://example.com

Wekan runs http server on local port, so it is without SSL. To get SSL, some webserver like Caddy and Nginx that have SSL, can proxy to local Wekan http port where node.js runs.

Admin Panel

First registered Wekan user will get Admin Panel on new Docker and source based installs. You can also on MongoDB enable Admin Panel and change you as board admin.

LAN + VPN

Using same database for both LAN and VPN Wekan

Proxy

Using Proxy

Email

Outgoing email can be configured at Admin Panel / People / E-mail by enabling Enable below email settings. This offers custom SMTP and many built-in email providers. Leave it disabled to keep using the installation's MAIL_URL and MAIL_FROM settings. See Troubleshooting Mail for provider choices, configuration examples and tests. For Exchange, you can use DavMail, Wekan SMTP => DavMail => Exchange.
