Great initiative!

My preference for next-gen EFA is a Docker container, instead of needing a dedicated VM. The rest of the Q's I'm not so fussed about, at least not today. With time, and community efforts, the container can support different options, like an embedded DB, or use an external one.

Many "services" are offered in multiple formats these day, with both "full" installs and containers offered. Hopefully OpenEFA can do the same, but I do recognise the need for resources to make this happen, so I'd be happy to help (where I have the skills todo) as long the Docker version is considered a 1st class citizen, along with the full installer, by OpenEFA with updates and fixes etc.

I got one little and one fatal error on fresh installation:

[INFO] Creating SpacyWeb admin user: admin
✓ Admin user created
[INFO] Configuring conversation learning system...
[WARN] Failed to configure conversation learning (non-fatal)
[INFO] Initializing module configuration for Tier 2...
✓ Module tables ready
✓ Database setup complete
✓ Step 2/6 complete

and

▶ Installing OpenSpacy Modules

[INFO] Copying OpenSpacy module files...
✓ Module files copied
[INFO] Installing module configuration files...
/tmp/openefa-installer-1760540681/installer/lib/modules.sh: line 124: RELAY_HOST: unbound variable
[ERROR] Installation interrupted

This is what I setup for mailrelay:

▶ Mail Relay Configuration

[INFO] Enter the IP address of your destination mail server
[INFO] (This could be an existing EFA appliance, Zimbra, or Exchange server)

Relay server IP address: 83.96.252.12
[INFO] Relay server: 83.96.252.12
Is this correct? [y/N]: y
Relay server port [25]:

Edit:
In the prompts scripts the variable name is RELAY_SERVER_IP and in the installation modules.sh it's called RELAY_HOST. Can that be the problem?

I tried your script to fix the domain access but it didn't work.

Running from curl gave me the "cancelled" error, but when I first downloaded and then ran it, it seemed to work.

However once in the web interface I still got the same error about not having access to any domains. Also when editing the admin user, the dropdown list of domains is still empty.

I then tried a completely fresh install, but got the same error as the person above:
[INFO] Installing module configuration files...
/tmp/openefa-installer-1760543245/installer/lib/modules.sh: line 124: RELAY_HOST: unbound variable
[ERROR] Installation interrupted

Standby on the installs. We are migrating to a new development server and looking at all of the code for the various errors that you all were experiencing. I will update as soon as I make some headway

Good news is that my local dev server install is working perfectly. However, that was with some local fixes, that I don't think made it to the github installer. So, please standby. this will be ready soon.

New install is out and seems to be working pretty well. Please try to install again using

curl -sSL http://install.openefa.com/install.sh | sudo bash

The web app is currently defaulting to http:openspacy:5500 I believe the documentation is saying https. I will fix this in a new release update.
