Any good resources/Discord servers (to discuss with other devs) for troubleshooting user login/email verification issues?
I have a self-hosted instance and was able to make the admin user, but when trying to create a new test user, the user does not get the verification email.
I assume its related to this issue because I see the same issue but on login rather than sign up: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1080
I am able to create the new user but get no email verification and then when I try to login the login button gets stuck with the spinner. No frontend console logs so I assume something is dying server-side and not bubbling the error.
Really just looking for some guidance/links to docs on how I can access logs to troubleshoot server-side errors (and my gut tells me maybe an email issue but I am a novice in this space so not sure).
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Oh snap, yes I am using Digital Ocean.
Looks like you might have forgotten to add the link, mind chucking that in when you get a chance?
Thanks, this seems like a good lead as well.
yep, same issue I had! the link :) https://lemmy.one/post/36440
after changing the docker-compose.yml file you have to destroy and up the postfix container
docker-compose stop postfix && docker-compose rm postfix docker-compose up -dafter changing your lemmy.hjson file, just restart the
lemmycontainer.Noice many thanks! I’ll give it a shot.
I found this link which hopefully explains the process of coupling postfix to Sendgrid for DigitalOcean customers.

at the top of the article they link to this: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/sendgrid
and finally found this on SendGrid’s site: https://docs.sendgrid.com/for-developers/sending-email/postfix
