In the ​Considerations for Production Deployments, there are a few distribution specific init scripts mentionned. Here's a more cross-system one, using Supervisor, a process control system. On Debian, it's more reliable than ​joar's MediaGoblin init scripts, as it doesn't fail at restarting them.

I suggest to add the following "init method" for Debian in the documentation mentionned above.

The Paster FCGI server supervisor file, with MediaGoblin's documentation paths.

[program:mediagoblin-paster]
command = /srv/mediagoblin.example.org/mediagoblin/bin/paster serve /srv/mediagoblin.example.org/mediagoblin/paste_local.ini --server-name=fcgi fcgi_host=127.0.0.1 fcgi_port=26543
directory = /srv/mediagoblin.example.org/mediagoblin
user = mediagoblin
autostart = true
autorestart = true
stdout_logfile = /var/log/supervisor/mediagoblin-paster.log
stderr_logfile = /var/log/supervisor/mediagoblin-paster_err.log
environment = CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER=false

The Celery task processor supervisor file, with MediaGoblin's documentation paths.

[program:mediagoblin-celeryd]
command = /srv/mediagoblin.example.org/mediagoblin/bin/celeryd
directory = /srv/mediagoblin.example.org/mediagoblin
user = mediagoblin
autostart = true
autorestart = true
stdout_logfile = /var/log/supervisor/mediagoblin-celeryd.log
stderr_logfile = /var/log/supervisor/mediagoblin-celeryd_err.log
environment = CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE="mediagoblin.init.celery.from_celery"

I'm not a supervisor-guru, I just followed these ​Section Values in supervisor's configuration documentation, so anyone is free to improve it, of course !

Currently MediaGoblin only has the option of using plain SMTP or SMTP over SSL (which has deprecated for some time now). Using STARTTLS is completely unsupported.

These changes address this issue by attempting to use the STARTTLS command after EHLO/HELO. By default it will carry on as normal if STARTTLS command is unavailable, this can be changed by setting email_smtp_force_tls in the config.

Before this can be considered for merging there are two things that need to be taken care of:

• Unit test - I have no idea how to change email_smtp_force_tls at runtime, so I can't test this config option in both states.
• Documentation - I can't see where email_smtp_* are documented. In particular, settings email_smtp_use_ssl and email_smtp_force_tls might confuse users

Patches can be found on the "starttls" branch of this git repo: ​https://gitorious.org/mediagoblin/mediagoblin-starttls/commits/starttls

Hi,

I think this is a Trac bug; maybe it simply needs an update, so I'm posting it here.

After signing up, users receive a link by mail, which takes them to the registration verification page, and automatically fills the token verification field. This field is incorrectly filled. For example, it would "foo?token=foo" instead of "foo".

Of course, the users can enter the token manually; but if they don't pay attention to the field's content, they'd just think the site is broken and move on.

Cheers.
