Question
Do i have to install postfix on my omnibus-gitlab in order to send mails through gmail?
Hello!! I installed Gitlab CE Omnibus Package on Ubuntu 16.04 droplet. Im a newbie in all respects on mail and smtp. On the gitlab page it says that you can configure Gmail by editing the /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file with this:
gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = "smtp.gmail.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 587
gitlab_rails['smtp_user_name'] = "account@gmail.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_password'] = "password"
gitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = "smtp.gmail.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = "login"
gitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_tls'] = false
gitlab_rails['smtp_openssl_verify_mode'] = 'peer'
I did that and then sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
But it’s not sending any emails. Should i have postfix or manage some sort of certs also?
Thanks in advanced.
