Using SMTP in place of SES #2

Open scripting opened 1 year ago

scripting commented 1 year ago

I held back opening up testing to get rid of the SES requirement, and just open it up to using SMTP which is basically the standard way to send email from server systems.

How to set up

So if you're just getting started now, follow the setup instructions and hopefully you'll have a server running in short order. If not, post a report here and we'll work on it.

You are the very first people to try a setup, so I'm expecting problems and will try to get problems fixed asap.

How to update

Before getting started I want to make sure you know how to update when there are new features and fixes.

  1. cd into the directory with feedland.js.

  2. npm update.

  3. Quit and relaunch the app.

That's all. The top level feedland.js has almost nothing in it, and it will never change. Have a look. All that can change is the code it uses and that's all managed by NPM.

Hi Dave, I set up SMTP on my raspberry pi and configure it to use gmail. I've managed to sign on to my Feedland using email now. Any problems I had were with setting up SMTP and connecting it to gmail, once I had that working I edited feedland's config and could sign on.

Cheers John

@troutcolor -- excellent news.

I'll have a checklist of things you can try out soon.

Thanks Dave, I’ve a couple of fairly trivial questions, would it be ok to open issues for them or add them to the greetings one?

cheers John

add them to the greetings message. i think that works better.
