How to change massive user quota mail limits?

[hm_elena]

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to change the mail quota limit to all the users?
I know the way by going to “Virtualmin -> edit user -> quota limit” but i have about 400 users and I should prefer to do by a script.

thanks in advance

Hi,

Yes, it’s possible.

~# virtualmin modify-domain --domain domain.name

~# virtualmin help modify-domain
Change parameters of a virtual server

    This command can be used to modify various settings for an existing
    virtual server from the command line. The only mandatory parameter is
    "--domain", which must be followed by the domain name of the server to
    update. The actual changes to make are specified by the other optional
    parameters, such as "--pass" to set a new password, "--desc" to change the
    server description, and "--quota" and "--uquota" to change the disk quota.

    To add a private IP address to a virtual server that currently does not
    have one, the "--ip" or "--allocate-ip" options can be used, as described
    in the section on "create-domain".

    To revert a server with a private IP back to the system's default shared
    address, use the "--default-ip" flag. If the system has more than one
    shared address, the "--shared-ip" flag can be used to change it.

    To add an IPv6 address to a virtual server that currently does not have
    one, the "--ip6" or "--allocate-ip6" options can be used. To remove a v6
    address, you can use "--no-ip6" instead.

    To change a server's domain name, the "--newdomain" option can be used. It
    must be followed by a new domain name, which of course cannot be used by
    any existing virtual server. When changing the domain name, you may also
    want to use the "--user" option to update the administration username for
    the server. Both of these options will effect sub-servers as well, where
    appropriate.

    To change a virtual server's plan and apply quota and other limits from
    the new plan, use the "--apply-plan" parameter followed by the plan name
    or ID. Alternately, you can switch the plan without applying any of it's
    limits with the "--plan" flag.

    You can also have the domain's enabled features updated to match the
    current or new plan with the "--plan-features" flag. This will disable or
    enable features to match those that are allowed on the plan by default.

    If your system is on an internal network and made available to the
    Internet via a router doing NAT, the IP address of a domain in DNS may be
    different from it's IP on the actual system. To set this, the "--dns-ip"
    flag can be given, followed by the external IP address to use. To revert
    to using the real IP in DNS, use "--no-dns-ip" instead. In both cases, the
    actual DNS records managed by Virtualmin will be updated.

    If your system supports chroot jails with Jailkit, the "--enable-jail"
    flag can be used to force all commands run by the domain to execute in a
    jail. Conversely, this can be turned off with the "--disable-jail" flag.

    If you have configured additional remote (or local) MySQL servers, you can
    change the one used by this domain with the "--mysql-server" flag followed
    by a hostname, hostname:port or socket file. All databases and users will
    be migrated to the new server.

    To specify an alias server that will be used for any links inside
    Virtualmin to this server, use the "--link-domain" flag followed by a
    domain name. To revert to the normal behavior, use "--no-link-domain".

    By default, virtual server plan changes that modify features will be
    blocked if any warnings are detected, such as an existing database or SSL
    certificate conflict. These can be overridden with the "--skip-warnings"
    flag.

---

Running in script for all domains would look as such - it will change total server quota to 100M and server administrator’s quota to 10M.

#!/bin/sh
doms=`virtualmin list-domains --name-only --no-alias`
for dom in $doms; do
        virtualmin modify-domain --domain $dom --quota 102400 --uquota 10240
done

Cheers,

I think Ilia’s suggestion will only affect the domain owner user quota. That can also be done in the UI in the List Virtual Servers->select the domains you want to change->Update Selected.

But, you can also use the API to modify users with the modify-user subcommand. I think it’d take a two part loop, where you grab a list of domains (as above in Ilia’s example, and then use list-users for the domain, and then use modify-user to change the quota).

You can get help with each of these with e.g. virtualmin list-users --help or virtualmin modify-user --help

Hi joe And Ilia,

thanks for your answer both of you.
I’m going to use the modify-user option because is what i need to create the script with all the users.
You are very helpful

thank you very much!

Regards!
