General Settings¶
Global application configuration. Settings live in the database (not in appsettings.json) so they survive container updates.
Sections¶
- Application — app name, default theme, default language
- SMTP — outbound email server
- Appearance — favicon and sign in page customisation
- Release Channel — stable / pre-release for the Updater module
Application¶

SMTP¶
| Field | Description |
|---|---|

| Encryption | None, SSL or STARTTLS. |
| Username / Password | Credentials (optional if your relay accepts anonymous send from the cv4pve-admin host). |
| Default sender | From: address used by transactional emails (activation, password reset) and by the SMTP notifier. |
The Send test email button verifies the configuration end-to-end.
The same SMTP server is reused by the SMTP notifier — see Notification Hub.
