Docker container has problems sending emails after signup
There is an error reported to the user of the web site after signing up for an account when running the docker image. The account gets created however. This indicates that the problem arises from attempting to send email. The error reported to the user is We're sorry, but something went wrong. We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly. The exception message (which I can't find right now) indicates that the problem occurs when trying to bind to port 25.
From slack https://pecanproject.slack.com/archives/C8QSKFDG8/p1546336813005300?thread_ts=1546309635.005100&cid=C8QSKFDG8 :
it is configured to send email using localhost. See https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html#action-mailer-configuration-for-gmail how to change it (see in same page for all variables you can set)
Probably enough to just set
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: 'smtp.domain.com'
}
@robkooper I just got another report about it happening on bety6.ncsa.illinois.edu / terraref.ncsa.illinois.edu/bety
is this something that can be set, at least as a default, in the docker container or a configuration yml file?
bety6 does not run docker, so this is something else. When did this happen?
It happened last week. Also the accounts were created but no email was sent out.
According to Slack ~ Tues Dec 3 around or before 8:37 AM AZ time.
