Fresh installation - no mail

J J.G. Public Seen by 44

Hello everyone,

I have just created a new installation of Loomio on my VPS server (Ubuntu 18.04 64bits). I followed step by step the guide proposed on GitHub.

Everything went well but when I logged into the platform to register the first account used for administration I never received the email with the validation code.

I checked my SMTP settings, I use the MailJet service, everything seems correct to me.

I checked the logs, many things seem strange to me:

- the loomio-worker service often ends with status 1

- the loomio-mailin service indicates a warning that the address is not reachable

- the nginx server indicates that it must restart very often

I have tried many different configurations in the hope that I may have misinformed an option but nothing works so I prefer to ask you for help.

I'm not a Docker expert and actually your project is my first initiative in this field, I attach the anonymized log files.

I hope you can help me with this implementation.

Yikes, yes, I know what the problem is here. I'll fix it on Monday and let you know. Sorry for the hassle.

If you like, switch from the :latest to the :stable docker image in your .env and that will sort things out. I should make this the default for this very reason.

Hello @J.G. I think you'll find that both stable and latest work for you now, remember to pull, down, up as per the loomio-deploy readme

Hello @Rob Guthrie ,

Thank you for your answers, I thought I would go crazy changing the settings all the time!

I have moved on to the "stable" branch, you advise me to go back to the "latest" version?

Thank you again for all this work

No, my advice is stay on stable. Hope it all goes smoothy for you from now on!
