"SMTP server details are not configured or are incorrect"

[torbengb]

I'm getting this error, "SMTP server details are not configured or are incorrect" and I can't figure out what's wrong.

Here's what I have done so far:

1. Linux host
2. running Docker
3. As per documentation, I have cloned the git repo.
4. Edited docker-compose.yml: only changed port from 3000 to 8016 due to port in use already.
5. Edited .env:

NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://doodle.mydomain.tld:8016
#DATABASE_URL=postgres://your-database/db # this is commented out as described in https://github.com/lukevella/rallly#%EF%B8%8F-configuration
SECRET_PASSWORD=I-have-replaced-this-password
[email protected]
SMTP_HOST=smtp.google.com
# my domain is under Google Workspace, so I can normally use Gmail's SMTP here.
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_SECURE=true
[email protected]
SMTP_PWD=custom app password from https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

6. docker-compose up -d

Creating rallly_rallly_db_1 ... done
Creating rallly_rallly_1    ... done

7. using Portainer to view the log:

yarn run v1.22.19
$ /usr/src/app/node_modules/.bin/prisma migrate deploy --schema prisma/schema.prisma
Prisma schema loaded from prisma/schema.prisma
Datasource "db": PostgreSQL database "db", schema "public" at "rallly_db:5432"

Done in 12.63s.
yarn run v1.22.19
$ next start
ready - started server on 0.0.0.0:3000, url: http://localhost:3000
SMTP server details are not configured or are incorrect
SMTP server details are not configured or are incorrect

Yes, that final line is present twice.

8. Kill + remove the container, repeat from step 3, same result again.

I have the same issue , any solution to this so far ?

[pslestang]

Usually port 587 is for TLS so you should set option secure = false
If you really want smtp over ssl try to connect on port 465.

I just pushed a small change that will log the full error coming from node-mailer. Hopefully, that will help identify the issue here. You will need to pull the latest commit from the main branch and rebuild the image.

Thank you, this helped me to solve the problem.
Reason: Google wanted to auth via Web browser.
https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha on that local server did help and rallly can send now emails.

Of course that's it. Unfortunately, my local server is either a NAS box or a headless Linux machine, so from neither would I be able to start a local web browser. F*ck. I will need to use a different SMTP provider.
