Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂ on Nostr: Since you are all extremely knowledgeable about this stuff and super generous with me ...
Since you are all extremely knowledgeable about this stuff and super generous with me with your help (THANK YOU), I'd like to ask you a question that is a bit embarrassing (in a "I'm a newbie please excuse my cluelessness" sort of way).
So having tackled the giant cache hurdle, now I find myself facing an email authentication problem (of course).
I definitely did set up DNS TXT records for Mailgun... but apparently I need to add some code to my Ghost config file to avoid having a warning on my email signups.
Self-hosted Ghost users say the code should look like this:
"mail": {
"from": "'Ghost Server' ghost@example.com",
"transport": "SMTP",
"options": {
"service": "Mailgun",
"host": "smtp.eu.mailgun.org",
"port": 465,
"secureConnection": true,
"auth": {
"user": "ghost@example.com",
"pass": "PASSWORD"
}
}
},
Now, for the auth user and pass I need to enter the email address and password for my Mailgun account, right? I'm a little confused.
And totally shameless now as you can tell.
And excuse me while I run hide in a corner (for having asked a silly question). I'm TRULY a newbie as you can tell.
P.S.: thank you for putting up with me 😅
