[x] I've read the FAQ and my problem isn't described there.
[x] I've also searched through the existing issues, and my problem hasn't been brought up

Describe the issue I accidentally said Y on the email part. How to disable this again?

Environment:

Client OS: Linux
VPS OS Debian 12
VPS Provider Tempest

Remove the email_password parameter from secrets.yml and re-run bash bootstrap.sh. Keep in mind that the secrets.yml file is encrypted, so you'll only be able to edit it with ansible-vault edit.

cd $HOME/ansible-easy-vpn
ansible-vault edit secret.yml
# remove the line that starts with "email_password"
sudo bash bootstrap.sh

Sorry, I think you're missing some basic knowledge of Linux CLI that is needed to run this project. Please refer to the manual of the text editor that you're using.

I'll be closing this issue, since the steps to disable the e-mail functionality are outlined in the FAQ: https://github.com/notthebee/ansible-easy-vpn/blob/main/FAQ.md#q-my-smtp-credentials-are-correct-but-i-still-get-the-http-500-error-and-the-authelia-logs-show-an-io-timeout-error
