Can't change Support Mail Address

[s3tupw1zard]

Issue Summary

Hello, I'm getting an error when I want to change the support email on my blogs portal settings.

I installed my blog using docker compose. A few days later I moved the folder with both folders for ghost and mysql to another server.

Here's my docker compose file:

  ghost:
    image: ghost:latest
    container_name: ghost-cms
    restart: always
    depends_on:
      - ghost_db
    environment:
      NODE_ENV: production
      url: https://example.com
      database__client: mysql
      database__connection__host: ghost_db
      database__connection__user: ghost
      database__connection__password: reallysecurepassword
      database__connection__database: ghostdb
      mail__transport: SMTP
      mail__options__host: smtp.example.com
      mail__options__port: 587
      mail__options__auth__user: out@example.com
      mail__options__auth__pass: reallysecuremailpassword
      mail__from: Example.com <my-mail@example.com>
    networks:
      - ghost_net
    volumes:
      - ./ghost/blog/content:/var/lib/ghost/content
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.docker.network=traefik_public"
      - "traefik.http.routers.ghost.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.routers.ghost.rule=Host(`domain.de`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.ghost.service=ghost"
      - "traefik.http.services.ghost.loadbalancer.server.port=2368"
      - "traefik.http.routers.ghost.tls.certresolver=cfresolver"

  ghost_db:
    image: mysql:latest
    container_name: ghost-db
    restart: always
    command: --pid-file /var/lib/mysql/mysqld.pid
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: 'reallysecurerootpassword'
      MYSQL_USER: 'ghost'
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: 'reallysecurepassword'
      MYSQL_DATABASE: 'ghostdb'
    networks:
      - ghost_net
    volumes:
      - ./ghost/mysql:/var/lib/mysql

I omitted the traefik Proxy part, because that part works without problems with my domain. I already tried to reset my instance but the result is the same.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you for help

Steps to Reproduce

2. Add Ghost and DB to docker-compose.yml as above
3. Start using docker compose up -d
4. Go to Ghost web address under portal change noreply@domain.tld to something else
5. Click the link inside the mail that arrived
6. See an error in Ghost CMS and its logs

I tested another version of the image and it appears that the error doesn't occur, or to put it in other words, it doesn't prevent it to change the support mail address. In the console I'm getting the same error, but this time the change was successful.

The image I tested was ghost:5.73.2-alpine (here it kinda works like expected)

With versions ghost:5.74.0-alpine, ghost:5 and ghost:5.74 including ghost:latest the described error is present.

can i work on this?

mysql:latest is not supported.

MySQL 8 is supported.

[markstos]

@royalfig It would be helpful if mentions of "MySQL 8" in docs clarified whether that means

8.0, 8.1, 8.2

or all three.

The issue here seems like it might be due to running a MySQL version that qualifies as MySQL 8, but is newer than intended or tested.

[royalfig]

@markstos Thanks! I'll confirm this.
