after installing with ansible, change the docker-compose.yml file on you server passing the api in the ENV variable:

the postfix section now looks like this

  postfix:
    image: mwader/postfix-relay
    environment:
      - POSTFIX_myhostname=[yourdomain.tld]
      - POSTFIX_inet_protocols=ipv4
      - POSTFIX_smtp_sasl_auth_enable=yes
      - POSTFIX_smtp_sasl_password_maps=static:apikey:[api-key]
      - POSTFIX_smtp_tls_security_level=may
      - POSTFIX_smtp_sasl_security_options=noanonymous
      - POSTFIX_relayhost=smtp.sendgrid.net:587
      - OPENDKIM_DOMAINS=[yourdomain.tld]
    restart: "always"
 

I'm trying to migrate lemmyfly.org to a server with more capacity at a different provider. From the current running OK server I've downloaded the volumes folder using rsync. The new server is installed using ansible with success, all containers are up and running.

Then I stop the containers, rm volumes, copy the volumes from the backup location to the new server.

Now when trying to start the containers, the pictrs and postgres containers have errors. I noticed the volumes folder now have different owner (staff in stead of root). So I manually changed ownership of those folders to root. Now those containers can start ok. But now the lemmy container can't authenticate with postgres, although the password is all the same in the config files.

There must be an easier way to restore a backup. What am I missing ?

So, I see these comments when looking at the post via lemmy.one. But I don't see them from here https://lemmyfly.org/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml I wrote a comment through lemmyfly.org, which doesn't show here

thanks! got it working now. In SendGrip generated an api key, at - POSTFIX_smtp_sasl_password_maps=static:smtp_username:smtp_password filled in apikey:[theapikey] and relayhost=smtp.sendgrid.net:587

also add a verified From address in SendGrid, which is added in your lemmy.hjson email.smtp_from_address

i've installed via Ansible. do you know where I can find the postfix config file ?

 

I have issues using postfix on my digitalocean droplet (they block the smtp port). Is it possible to setup using SendGrid for the email verification and notifications ?
