Suggested change

[Ferks-FK]

Explanation

In the panel tutorial, but specifically in the "Getting Started" tab, change the following information:

php artisan p:environment:setup
php artisan p:environment:database

# To use PHP's internal mail sending (not recommended), select "mail". To use a
# custom SMTP server, select "smtp".
php artisan p:environment:mail

To:

php artisan p:environment:setup
php artisan p:environment:database

# To use PHP's internal mail sending (not recommended), select "mail". To use a
# custom SMTP server, select "smtp".
# If you don't need mail sending right now, ignore this command.
php artisan p:environment:mail

Why this change?

This will prevent people from running this command without even needing to send mail, and most importantly, it will prevent these kinds of problems in discord:

[2021-12-10 17:22:35] production.ERROR: Connection could not be established with host smtp.example.com :stream_socket_client(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known

That error is harmless and skipping the step won't affect that, because the dotenv file contains default example values. That command allows overwriting those values.

Good, then can I close this?
