New install Seflhosting Invoice Ninja 5 on Ubuntu 20.04

Hi Hillel,

Happy to report I got it working, When I first installed the app I tried going down the certbot way but when it insisted on a FQDN and demanded that I open holes in my firewall I decided to go down the self signing path. I turns out that there was some leftover config left which I removed and then re-installed Ninja V5 … btw I picked it up because certbot was logging an error log …

Anyhow the next challenge is that email is not working …

I checked all the usual bits … in the .env

QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync

MAIL_MAILER=“smtp”
MAIL_HOST=“valid.email.host.address”
MAIL_PORT=“465”
MAIL_USERNAME=“valid_user@valid.email.address”
MAIL_PASSWORD=“the_right_password”
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=“ssl”
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=“valid_user@valid.email.address”
MAIL_FROM_NAME=“Service at MyBussiness”

It does give me an error warning at the bottom left of the screen
“The crons needs to be enabled”

Is this a reference that an automated script isn’t running?

If it is how do I enable it ?

must admit this self hosting is an adventure …
