Not getting an email on http://localhost:4000/dev/mailbox for verification in local deployment

Self-Hosting
1

I’m running into the same problem as described at this post, Unable to verify via email so blocked from using self-hosted local test instance

Difference is there is nothing on http://localhost:4000/dev/mailbox to use for verification.

Seems there are no additional steps needed besides clicking the " Send verification link" to get this working according to the topic linked above.

Am I missing something or is there another work around?

Hey @dmmktz ,

How have you got your Lightning server running?

The /dev/mailbox endpoint is only available when MIX_ENV=dev. It’s worth noting that the prebuilt Docker images have MIX_ENV set to prod. If you’re using docker, you’ll want to use Dockerfile-dev instead

Thank you so much @midigofrank.

@dmmktz What options are available for using email in a self-hosted production environment with OpenFn?

Hey @saurajthapa at the moment, we only support Mailgun and SMTP.
You can refer to the deployment docs on how to configure them: lightning/DEPLOYMENT.md at main · OpenFn/lightning · GitHub
