Have an instance running, now what?

Well, I have an instance running. At startup it outputs federation enabled, host is redacted, but I don't see anything when looking at all. I can't search for other instance communities. I thought I would be able to use my local instance to browse other instance/communities and post there from my instance. Is that not how this...

slashzero,

https://hakbox.social

Please let me know if it isn't working. My block & allow lists are empty.

slashzero,

Thank you for helping me try to figure this out! I've tried full and shortcode but don't get any results.

I've searched for communities here on lemmy.ml I know exist via shortcode but not getting any results.

slashzero,

No, it is not there.

Searched for that 👆 and checked the logs... timeout issue...

slashzero,

Thank you for this. I will look through it now to see what I can learn.

slashzero,

It's possible I have something misconfigured... but what I don't know!

slashzero,

I have no idea what that means, either. I checked all the admin sections, and nothing pending anywhere on my end.

slashzero,

Valid point on self hosted SMTP, but I’m just experimenting and didn’t want to waste any money on an SMTP / relay service. But I suppose if folks could recommend a good external smtp service I’ll have a look.

slashzero, (edited )

GoDaddy, nothing free, but they have office 365 for $1.99 (USD) a month.

I’ll check out Gandi, but assume you can only use their relay if you registered the domain through them?

slashzero,

I’m trying Brevo right now which has a free SMTP relay allowing 300 emails every 24 hours. The Brevo admin console shows green, relay setup and verified (adding some TXT DNS entries on my domain registrar).

As far as I can tell, everything is setup, and lemmy.hjson has the email block with the correct smtp-relay address, port, user and password.

I bring lemmy down and back up to pick up the new settings, but when I go add an email address to my user profile and click save, I get an error:

email_send_failed: Connection error: time out 0: lemmy_api::local_user::save_settings::perform

I tried updating to the latest lemmy release candidates for both BE and UI, too. No difference.

You need to put the container name inside the docker network as the host.

I was not sure what you meant by this. The closest possibly was this?

lemmy-ui:
    image: dessalines/lemmy-ui:0.17.4-rc.4
    networks:
      - lemmyinternal
    environment:
      # this needs to match the hostname defined in the lemmy service
      - LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_INTERNAL_HOST=lemmy:8536
      # set the outside hostname here
      - LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_EXTERNAL_HOST=localhost:1236
      - LEMMY_HTTPS=true
    depends_on:
      - lemmy
    restart: always

I changed localhost:1236 to my FQDM:1236 and it did not seem to have any impact either way. Maybe it did? I honestly don't know. But, I thank you for the help anyway!

slashzero,

Will do!

slashzero,

Man… I really wish my signup on beehaw.org would get approved. I wonder if it has something to do with emails not going out?

slashzero, (edited )

Yes, but I tried to sign up a few times and let iOS set a “strong password” for me each time so unless there is some way to reset the password…

Yep… login just spins forever. The forgot password link doesn’t do anything.

slashzero,

Yes, I saw the post on that, and given I am a software developer thought maybe I’d take a look, but figured someone else must be looking by now, hopefully.

slashzero, (edited )

tried the big three (browsers), no go.

slashzero,

I think this is related to my initial signup getting denied and no email notifications being sent out in that scenario. There is a post on beehaw looking for devs to have a look at the code to figure out the issue, but based on what I read in GitHub, it sounds like if an admin denies a signup, the email doesn’t get sent, and then the user is in a weird locked state where they can’t signup again, and the admins can’t modify the user.

slashzero,

Makes sense. I wonder how I can reset my password though? The link to reset doesn’t work in any browsers for me. Was my user perhaps banned? Would be slashzero@beehaw.org

Thanks!

slashzero,

Does the gmail SMTP server have a limit on how many emails can be sent per day?

slashzero,

I spent the last few hours trying to get mail working on my instance. Eventually I set up postfix on my linux host and had the lemmy docker container use that. Happy to say it is working.

slashzero,

Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.

slashzero,

I’m in the process of setting up my own instance for fun, as today was a slow work day.

slashzero,
