setup email provider for outbound emails

[quamok]

As anyone been able to setup an email provider for outgoing emails, for instance password reset? I can't find the proper place to set it up, even after browsing through the github discussions, issues, and the official documentation.

Thanks!

This feature was actually just added with the 0.16 release. Just add the appropriate settings from the new . Env template.

I will need to create some docs for the different configuration options but have not gotten around to do that

This defenetly works! One word on these emails: You also have to set the website in Django Admin for the links inside the email to display and work properly.

for anyone finding this and wondering the same thing, here's the related documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#email-host

#684
Email Settings, see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#email-host
Required for email confirmation and password reset (automatically activates if host is set)
EMAIL_HOST=
EMAIL_PORT=
EMAIL_HOST_USER=
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=
EMAIL_USE_TLS=0
EMAIL_USE_SSL=0
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL= # email sender address (default 'webmaster@localhost')
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX= # prefix used for account related emails (default "[Tandoor Recipes] ")

Can someone go into more detail on how to setup email notifications?

How do you get to a screen to fill in your email information? I've scoured the Django settings screen a million times, and I've looked inside of the app data folders on my Unraid server, and I cannot find any place to fill in my email settings. I've followed the link above, but it also doesn't explain where to go to enter these variables.

Thank you.

The ENV template has the following settings which need to be setup according to your email host. There are a couple of issues that provide working gmail settings as well.
