@ -15,13 +15,75 @@ To make emails work you have to properly configure a mail provider in Part-DB.
## Configuration
Part-DB uses [Symfony Mailer](https://symfony.com/doc/current/mailer.html) to send emails, which supports multiple
automatic mail providers (like MailChimp or SendGrid). If you want to use one of these providers, check the Symfony
mail providers (like Mailgun, SendGrid, or Brevo). If you want to use one of these providers, check the Symfony
Mailer documentation for more information.
We will only cover the configuration of an SMTP provider here, which is sufficient for most use-cases.
You will need an email account, which you can use to send emails from via password-based SMTP authentication, this account
should be dedicated to Part-DB.
### Using specialized mail providers (Mailgun, SendGrid, etc.)
If you want to use a specialized mail provider like Mailgun, SendGrid, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), Amazon SES, or
Postmark instead of SMTP, you need to install the corresponding Symfony mailer package first.
#### Docker installation
If you are using Part-DB in Docker, you can install additional mailer packages by setting the `COMPOSER_EXTRA_PACKAGES`
environment variable in your `docker-compose.yaml`:
```yaml
environment:
- COMPOSER_EXTRA_PACKAGES=symfony/mailgun-mailer
- MAILER_DSN=mailgun+api://API_KEY:DOMAIN@default
- EMAIL_SENDER_EMAIL=noreply@yourdomain.com
- EMAIL_SENDER_NAME=Part-DB
- ALLOW_EMAIL_PW_RESET=1
```
You can install multiple packages by separating them with spaces:
```yaml
environment:
- COMPOSER_EXTRA_PACKAGES=symfony/mailgun-mailer symfony/sendgrid-mailer
```
The packages will be installed automatically when the container starts.
Common mailer packages:
- `symfony/mailgun-mailer` - For [Mailgun](https://www.mailgun.com/)
- `symfony/sendgrid-mailer` - For [SendGrid](https://sendgrid.com/)
- `symfony/brevo-mailer` - For [Brevo](https://www.brevo.com/) (formerly Sendinblue)
- `symfony/amazon-mailer` - For [Amazon SES](https://aws.amazon.com/ses/)
- `symfony/postmark-mailer` - For [Postmark](https://postmarkapp.com/)
#### Direct installation (non-Docker)
If you have installed Part-DB directly on your server (not in Docker), you need to manually install the required
mailer package using composer.
Navigate to your Part-DB installation directory and run:
```bash
# Install the package as the web server user
sudo -u www-data composer require symfony/mailgun-mailer
# Clear the cache
sudo -u www-data php bin/console cache:clear
```
Replace `symfony/mailgun-mailer` with the package you need. You can install multiple packages at once:
```bash
sudo -u www-data composer require symfony/mailgun-mailer symfony/sendgrid-mailer
```
After installing the package, configure the `MAILER_DSN` in your `.env.local` file according to the provider's
documentation (see [Symfony Mailer documentation](https://symfony.com/doc/current/mailer.html) for DSN format for
each provider).
## SMTP Configuration
To configure the SMTP provider, you have to set the following environment variables:
`MAILER_DSN`: You have to provide the SMTP server address and the credentials for the email account here. The format is

### Installing additional composer packages
If you need to use specific mailer transports or other functionality that requires additional composer packages, you can
install them automatically at container startup using the `COMPOSER_EXTRA_PACKAGES` environment variable.
For example, if you want to use Mailgun as your email provider, you need to install the `symfony/mailgun-mailer` package.
Add the following to your docker-compose.yaml environment section:
```yaml
environment:
- COMPOSER_EXTRA_PACKAGES=symfony/mailgun-mailer
- MAILER_DSN=mailgun+api://API_KEY:DOMAIN@default
```
You can specify multiple packages by separating them with spaces:
```yaml
environment:
- COMPOSER_EXTRA_PACKAGES=symfony/mailgun-mailer symfony/sendgrid-mailer
```
{: .info }
> The packages will be installed when the container starts. This may increase the container startup time on the first run.
> The installed packages will persist in the container until it is recreated.
Common mailer packages you might need:
- `symfony/mailgun-mailer` - For Mailgun email service
- `symfony/sendgrid-mailer` - For SendGrid email service
- `symfony/brevo-mailer` - For Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) email service
- `symfony/amazon-mailer` - For Amazon SES email service
- `symfony/postmark-mailer` - For Postmark email service
### Update Part-DB
You can update Part-DB by pulling the latest image and restarting the container.
