**Files**: https://files.st.vish.gg - **Proxy**: https://proxy.st.vish.gg - **Voice**: https://voice.st.vish.gg ### SSL Certificates - **Provider**: Let's Encrypt - **Location**: /etc/letsencrypt/live/st.vish.gg/ - **Auto-renewal**: Configured via certbot ## 📧 Email Configuration ### SMTP Settings - **Provider**: Gmail SMTP - **Host**: smtp.gmail.com:465 (SSL) - **From**: your-email@example.com - **Authentication**: App Password - **Status**: Fully functional ### Email Testing ```bash # Test account creation (sends verification email) curl -X POST http://localhost:14702/auth/account/create \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"email": "test@example.com", "password": "TestPass123!"}' ``` ## 🔐 User Management ### Account Operations ```bash # Create account curl -X POST http://localhost:14702/auth/account/create \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"email": "user@domain.com", "password": "SecurePass123!"}' # Login curl -X POST http://localhost:14702/auth/session/login \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"email": "user@domain.com", "password": "SecurePass123!"}' ``` ### Test Accounts - **user@example.com**: Verified test account (password: "REDACTED_PASSWORD" - **Helgrier**: user@example.com (password: "REDACTED_PASSWORD" ## 🚨 Troubleshooting ### Common Issues 1. **Service won't start**: Check port availability, restart with manage-services.sh 2. **Email not received**: Check spam folder, verify SMTP credentials in Revolt.overrides.toml 3. **SSL issues**: Verify certificate renewal with `certbot certificates` 4. **Frontend not loading**: Check nginx configuration and service status ### Log Locations - **Services**: *.log files in /root/stoatchat/ - **Nginx**: /var/log/nginx/error.log - **System**: /var/log/syslog ### Health Checks ```bash # Quick service check for port in 14702 14703 14704 14705 14706; do echo "Port $port: $(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:$port/)" done # API health curl -s http://localhost:14702/ | jq '.revolt' ``` ## 💾 Backup Strategy ### Automated Backups -
