Impacted versions

OS Type: Debian 11
OS Version: 11
Database Type: PostgreSQL
Database version: whatever was installed with installer
Modoboa: Lastest
installer used: Yes
Webserver: Nginx

Steps to reproduce

Fresh install of Debian 11 on a KVM with 4G RAM.

NOTE: Also tried on Debian 12 and I didn't even get this far.

How can the installer be this bad???

Exception Type: AttributeError at /accounts/login/
Exception Value: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'parameters'

Expected behavior

I expected a working installation, but maybe that was expecting to much? Does anyone actually use modoboa? should I switch back to iredmail?
