Open dchiller opened 8 months ago

Cantus Database offers a good approach for this

kunfang98927 commented 8 months ago

I cannot receive the password reset email from CantusDB. How should I set the following constants for VIM?

Corresponds to line 168-175 here in CantusDB https://github.com/DDMAL/CantusDB/blob/516fa0fb9f11f5e3524a2f93f9439f51cba38cad/django/cantusdb_project/cantusdb/settings.py#L168

Do you have an account on CantusDB? If not, I think you would not receive an email...

We will have to configure this in AWS -- I can do this today.

No, I don't have an account. If that's why I didn't receive the verification email, that's fine.

Great! Thank you.

Ah, ok ... that makes sense.

I will get to the config today....sorry I lost track of it yesterday.

@dchiller Hi Dylan! Is the AWS configuration ready?

dchiller commented 7 months ago

I will tag in @softcat477 here. Do you know how to set up a new email address in AWS? Also, maybe we don't want to do this yet because I think only simssa.ca exists but we would want this to be linkedmusic.ca for vim. And so it doesn't really make sense to do this twice.

This process should be documented so that anyone can set this up.

The email service is on Amazon Simple Email Service (us-west-2). There's no documentation about how to set up a new email address. I can look into this on Thursday

Also, maybe we don't want to do this yet because I think only simssa.ca exists but we would want this to be linkedmusic.ca for vim. And so it doesn't really make sense to do this twice.

I agree. We should worry about email service after switching to linkedmusic.ca.

Ok, let's put this on hold for now then.
