Configuring email

Ayon server can be configured for sending emails to users, this may be used for the password recovery or by addons.

Using Ynput Cloud email service​

With an active Ynput cloud subscription, emails are sent using Ynput servers and no configuration is necessary.

Using SMTP​

Without YnputCloud subscription, a working SMTP server is required. SMTP is configured using the environment variables of the server container:

  • AYON_EMAIL_FROM Email sender address (example: noreply@mystudio.com)
  • AYON_EMAIL_SMTP_HOST SMTP server hostname (example: smtp.mystudio.com)
  • AYON_EMAIL_SMTP_PORT SMTP server port (example: 587)
  • AYON_EMAIL_SMTP_TLS Use SSL for SMTP connection (example: true)
  • AYON_EMAIL_SMTP_USER SMTP server username (example: mailuser)
  • AYON_EMAIL_SMTP_PASS SMTP server password (example: supersecretpassword)

When the environment variables are set properly and server is restarted, you should see a "Reset password" link on the login page.

You may use that link to ensure that emails are sent (don't worry, your password won't be reset, unless you change it using a link in the email message).
