How to make it work with Monica

Password field in the rouncdube db is too short for the API token from Monica, so we need to make it accept longer passwords:

1. First get password from mailcow-dockerized/mailcow.conf:

   cat mailcow-dockerized/mailcow.conf | grep DBPASS
   

2. Then modify the db:

   docker-compose exec mysql-mailcow sh
   mysql -u mailcow -p <DBPASS>
   use mailcow;
   
   # see all addressbooks:
   select * from mailcow_rc1carddav_addressbooks;
   
   # see table properties
   describe mailcow_rc1carddav_addressbooks;
   
   # change password field type from varchar to text
   ALTER TABLE mailcow_rc1carddav_addressbooks MODIFY password text;
