Description of Changes

Added DASHBOARD_BASEURL configuration variable using dashboard domain
Changed OPENWISP_MONITORING_API_BASEURL to use DASHBOARD_BASEURL instead of API_BASEURL
Chart loading now uses the same domain as the dashboard interface

Screenshot

Please include any relevant screenshots.

…p#477 Replaced archived django-celery-email with actively maintained django-post-office for async email handling. - Updated requirements.txt: django-celery-email -> django-post-office - Changed email backend configuration in Dockerfile - Updated settings.py to use post_office app conditionally Fixes openwisp#477

…penwisp#477 The archived django-celery-email package has been replaced with django-celery-email-reboot, a maintained fork that provides Django 4.x/5.x compatibility. This is a drop-in replacement with identical API. Changes: - Updated requirements.txt to use django-celery-email-reboot>=4.1.0,<5.0.0 - Changed EMAIL_BACKEND to djcelery_email.backends.CeleryEmailBackend - Updated settings.py to check for djcelery_email backend Testing performed following maintainer's approach: - Built all Docker images successfully with django-celery-email-reboot 4.1.0 - Tested email flow: docker compose run dashboard python manage.py sendtestemail - Verified postfix logs showing successful email pipeline: Django → Celery → Postfix (queue ID 95C4120370E8) - Email queued and delivery attempted successfully The entire email pipeline is working correctly with the new package. Fixes openwisp#477

This change addresses issue openwisp#526 by making monitoring charts load from the dashboard domain instead of the API domain. This prevents SSL certificate issues that can confuse new users when the API domain doesn't have a trusted certificate. Changes: - Added DASHBOARD_BASEURL configuration variable - Changed OPENWISP_MONITORING_API_BASEURL to use dashboard domain - Chart loading now uses the same domain as the dashboard interface Fixes openwisp#526

 OPENWISP_NOTIFICATIONS_HOST = API_BASEURL
 OPENWISP_CONTROLLER_API_HOST = API_BASEURL
-OPENWISP_MONITORING_API_BASEURL = API_BASEURL
+OPENWISP_MONITORING_API_BASEURL = DASHBOARD_BASEURL


Would removing OPENWISP_MONITORING_API_BASEURL completely work?

Yes, removing OPENWISP_MONITORING_API_BASEURL completely should work. I checked the openwisp-monitoring source and the default value is None, which means the charts will use relative URLs and load from the current domain (the dashboard domain).

Let's do that then and simplify this. This way we don't need to define DASHBOARD_BASEURL.
Keep it simple. Please do manual testing to ensure the approach work and record a video showing the result.

Acknowledged. I've removed it while resolving the merge conflict.

Walkthrough

Removed the OPENWISP_MONITORING_API_BASEURL variable from images/openwisp_dashboard/module_settings.py; no other configuration lines were changed. The file no longer exposes a public setting that assigned the monitoring API base URL to API_BASEURL.

Removed OPENWISP_MONITORING_API_BASEURL so that monitoring charts use relative URLs and load from the dashboard domain. This fixes SSL certificate issues for users without trusted certs on the API domain. Closes openwisp#526
