Can you manually check your "app.ini" to see whether the options are right there?
gitea.com is also using the nightly and it also sends emails, it works there.
G'day @wxiaoguang,
Thanks for the prompt response.
I was able to check that and had found that the environment variables from the docker-compose.yml
hadn't come through correctly.
I have made some adjustments and I think it may be working now.
I will update for sure once I can confirm.
I can confirm that this is working.
From what I can determine the issue was twfold.
One, is that there is two configuration items for essentially the same thing:
GITEA__mailer__HOST
which is a combination of GITEA__mailer__SMTP_ADDR
and GITEA__mailer__SMTP_PORT
.
If I only configure GITEA__mailer__HOST
email fails to send.
I have to configure both the HOST
, SMTP_ADDR
, and SMTP_PORT
values.
Why is this?
I read the documentation as HOST
would take priority over SMTP_ADDR
and SMTP_PORT
- but maybe it is the other way round.
I think the issue there could be that if SMTP_ADDR
and SMTP_PORT
is supplied, and HOST
is not, any existing HOST
value in the app.ini
file isn't removed. (NOTE: There is an existing app.ini
file as there is a persistent volume specified in the docker-compose.yml
file.
Two, escaping the password value. Once I realised I was able to see the app.ini
file in the Docker container, I was able to ascertain that the password had not been configured correctly.
Thanks again for your quick response @wxiaoguang
Description
I am running Gitea as a docker container. In the past I have been able to use a SMTP server with authentication successfully. I have recently had to change SMTP providers and now am getting this error message when I am testing email:
I have looked into the debugs, but there are not many around the email process. I have also tried another go based CLI mail program (github.com/kiwimic/mailCLI) to see if the SMTP service is working with the same SMTP credentials as I have configured for Gitea. That CLI worked.
I also tested with the
swaks
CLI tool with the same SMTP credentials, and it worked too.So, I am wondering why Gitea isn't working. Is there a way to get more debugging information out of Gitea? I have set the log level to DEBUG, but it isn't including things like what attributes it is passing to the SMTP service or anything like that. I am wondering if it is a string encoding issue or something that is causing the SMTP server to say
authentication failure
.Any assistance would be fantastic - I'm happy to diagnose further, I am not as familiar with
go
as with other languages.Gitea Version
