Hi stappers, thanks for your reply. I don’t use `–rawfile`. The command I use is the following: `stalwart-cli apply --file stalwart-plan.ndjson` Best regards David

Acknowledge. I zoomed in on the last two lines of stalwart-plan.ndjson stappers@messer:/dev/shm/temp $ cat the_update_lines {"@type":"update","object":"SystemSettings","value":{"defaultCertificateId":"#certificate-i2evq3oqabaa","defaultDomainId":"#domain-1","defaultHostname":"mail.david-w.eu"}} {…

My bad, there has been an issue while I pasted in the NDJSON plan. I have fixed it now. Regardless if I use the # character to reference to domain ID/certificate ID or not, I’m still getting the Failed to parse Id from string error message.

I did read that as further ideas are welcome. Do apply with just this as file content: { "@type": "update", "object": "SystemSettings", "value": { "defaultHostname": "mail.david-w.eu" } } Once again to understand update { "@type": "update", "object": "SystemSettings", "value": …

Try with --rawfile , that helped me.
