I used the ansible method to install Lemmy on a DigitalOcean VPS. They do block port 25 and there is no way around that. I tried to change the port from 25 to 465 in the config.hjson file but still no luck. I am super new to this but I want to get this working so bad. I’m so close! The site is working fine, just no emails. I’ve checked spam, trash, etc. - nothing is getting sent.
Check the logs of your postfix instance
I tried to get that using:
sudo docker compose logs postfix
and it just responds:
no configuration file provided: not found
Any ideas?
Since you’re getting logs via
docker compose
you should either be in the directory that holdsdocker-compose.yml
or specify the full path to the file using-f
flag.Oh shoot, that makes sense. Now I just have to figure out where ansible puts that…
Register for the free account on sendgrid.com and use their port 587.
Any chance you wouldn’t mind walking me through how to set up Lemmy to do that? Any guide or reference would be appreciated.
Use mailgun free account or something similar. If you don’t your emails will land in spam even if you do get it working on a vps (which many including DigitaOceam dont allow emails due to spam)

Are you running the zerobytes monster instance?
I don’t know what that is so I’d assume not. I used the Lemmy ansible guide by the numbers, so if that is what the guide uses then yes, otherwise no.
