Checking for Errors and Warnings
For the remainder of this tutorial, I will be using SSH
Go to the User Icon at the top right and click Administration Settings
Here you can check for Warnings
First we will start by fixing these warnings
Server has no maintenance window start time configured. This means resource intensive daily background jobs will also be executed during your main usage time. We recommend to set it to a time of low usage, so users are less impacted by the load caused from these heavy tasks. For more details see the documentation ↗.
Your installation has no default phone region set. This is required to validate phone numbers in the profile settings without a country code. To allow numbers without a country code, please add "default_phone_region" with the respective ISO 3166-1 code of the region to your config file. For more details see the documentation ↗.
Enabling SSH
On the RaspberryPI Terminal, type
sudo raspi-config
Select Interfacing Options
Navigate to and select SSH
Choose Yes and Select OK
Click Finish
Connecting to Raspberry Pi Via SSH
Open up a Terminal on your Computer
