Email Styling and Redirection Issues in Gmail

[VictorHachard]

The bug

I have configured a mail server with Google. However, I have two issues:

• When I receive the email, the styling is not like the screen is the release note.
• When clicking on the button, the redirection URL is incorrect, leading to a 404 error.

I see in the code that the base URL is concatenated with /auth/login. In my case, the base URL https://xxx/ combined with /auth/login results in the double slashes (https://xxx//auth/login).

Also, I am using Nginx with Nginx Proxy Manager. Could this be causing the ending / in my base URL?

Thanks, the double / is the issue

Probably something as easy as changing the following code block:

https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/6b369e84fcad985224cdeb17fd4802de1e55cb75/server/src/services/notification.service.ts#L49-L58

    const { server } = await this.configCore.getConfig();
    const baseUrl = () => {
      let url = 'http://localhost:2283';
      try {
        var url = (new URL(server.externalDomain)).origin;
      } catch (e) {}
      return url;
    }
    const { html, text } = this.notificationRepository.renderEmail({
      template: EmailTemplate.WELCOME,
      data: {
        baseUrl: url,
        displayName: user.name,
        username: user.email,
        password: tempPassword,
      },
    });

(if you don't care about IE you can remove the (e) part).

Ideally this should be earlier on, especially if server.externalDomain is used elsewhere, but this should work.

Let's instead normalize it in getConfig instead.

For the styling issue, I transferred my email to Outlook, and there is no problem. It seems to be an issue with Gmail.
