Webmin: [Question] webmin url in email notifications

[pedrom34]

Hey,

I have webmin on my selfhosted server, it's reachable on http://localip:10000. From the outside, I use a nginx reverse proxy, and I access webmin from https://webmin.domain.tld/

Everything is working great, except that when I receive a notification for packages updates the email reads this:
Updates can be installed at
http://hostname:10000/package-updates/

How can I change this address to the one I specified in nginx?

Hi,

I don't think it's currently possible, as when notifications are generated get_system_hostname() is used to extract the actual hostname.

Correct, this can't be changed currently.

[iliarostovtsev]

Should we make this configurable?

Should we make this configurable?

Well, if you ask me... :smile:

[jcameron]

Yes - I'll update this ticket with progress.

[jcameron]

Ok, this has been implemented for inclusion in the next Webmin release.

Hey @jcameron

Can you tell me where can I find this option now that it has been implemented? Because, I cannot find it haha 😭

Thanks!

Have a look at Webmin > Webmin Configuration > Sending Email page and there will be an option called From address for email from Webmin:

Thank you, that did the trick 😄
