Synology Self Host email setup with docker

Technical Help
#1

Hello there,

I have set up my Synology self host Baserow with Portainer and docker. Users can signup to Baserow. However, I just cannot get any invitation email to sent out to invite member . Can someone shad some lights on the environment below?
docker run
-d
–name baserow
-e BASEROW_PUBLIC_URL=https://www.yourdomain.com
-e EMAIL_SMTP=True
-e EMAIL_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
-e EMAIL_SMTP_PORT=465
-e EMAIL_SMTP_USER=myuserid@gmail.com
-e EMAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD=mypasswd
-e EMAIL_SMTP_USE_TLS=
-v baserow_data:/baserow/data
-p 80:80
-p 443:443
–restart unless
–restart unless-stopped
baserow/baserow:1.12.0

I tired port 465 with
-e EMAIL_SMTP_USE_TLS=
-e EMAIL_SMTP_USE_TLS=No \

and port 587 with
-e EMAIL_SMTP_USE_TLS= Yes \

none of them work

Thanks in advance

Hi @btong

Your settings look correct and fine to me. Could you attempt to follow the instructions from this post and let me know how it goes? Issues sending emails - #9 by nigel

I followed Marius Bogdan Lixandru method

to install in Synology NAS. Unfortunately I do not have shell and programming background knowledge to follow the instruction. I hope oneday someone write another tutorial setting up SMTP with Synology NAS baserow installation.

Fixed. After serval attempts, I finally get it to work with my web hosting company’s smtp host, instead of using google smtp. In the log, I could see Google smtp will disconnect with SSL and TLS. However, It appears that Baserow smtplib.SMTP() needs TLS enable with port set to 587. I am not able to get SSL port 465 to work .
