Email Configuration

Link-Live Private will, by default, create an SMTP server container and send out emails, such as registration emails and result notification emails, on port 25. Ensure that your network allows for this. The ubuntu-start.sh script walks through these options.

NOTE
The start script is at the root of the installation directory and is run as sudo ./ubuntu-start.sh.
All other scripts live in the toolkit/ folder, have plain names, and are also run with sudo — for example sudo ./toolkit/backup.sh.
See Script Naming and Usage.

The following environment variables apply to your Link-Live Private installation.

Variable	Details
`NODEMAILER_CUSTOM_SERVER`	Set to `true` to use an external SMTP server. When `false`, none of the other `NODEMAILER` environment variables will be used.
`NODEMAILER_HOST`	SMTP server hostname or IP
`NODEMAILER_PORT`	SMTP port, typically 25 or 465, based on your SMTP configuration
`NODEMAILER_SECURE`	Set to `true` for TLS. If set to `false`, TLS is not used, but the connection can still be upgraded to TLS via `STARTTLS` if the email server supports it.
`NODEMAILER_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED`	Set to `false` if you'd like Link-Live Private to ignore the validity of the email server certificate. Defaults to `true`.
`NODEMAILER_HTTP_PROXY`	If you need Link-Live Private to establish a connection to the SMTP server via an HTTP proxy, set this environment variable to, for example, `http://proxy-host:1234`. Leave unset to not use a proxy.
`NODEMAILER_LOGIN_AUTH_USER`	If your SMTP server uses AUTH PLAIN, this variable is the username that a client can use to authenticate. Leave it blank if your server does not require authentication.
`NODEMAILER_LOGIN_AUTH_PASSWORD`	If your SMTP server uses AUTH PLAIN, this variable is the password that a client can use to authenticate. Leave it blank if your server does not require authentication.
