How to configure the book stack addon to us a SMTP server?

Configuration
1

So I have installed the book stack addon in home assistant os. typically in a book stack server you have the option to configure an SMTP server to send email so that the server can send emails to invite users or verify email addresses upon registration. This is typically found in the web UI of the server for admins. However this is absent in the HA addon. And i cant see anyway to configure it. Is there a way to edit a config file to enable this feature?

ok so I have found the documentation on how to configure SMTP in yaml. I have made the changes and have tested new changes by using the Notifications: Send a notification with notifier_name option under the services tab in developer tools and i can confirm that Home Assistant can send emails! happy day!! However… Book stack still can not :frowning_face: Does anyone know how to get book stack to use this newly configured SMTP server? or is there a way to set it up manually?? I really need book stack to be able to send emails.

Variables for Bookstack are described here Email & Webhooks · BookStack

this is what my config looks like

envvars:
  - name: MAIL_DRIVER
    value: smtp
  - name: MAIL_HOST
    value: <smtp_erver>
  - name: MAIL_PORT
    value: "587"
  - name: MAIL_ENCRYPTION
    value: tls
  - name: MAIL_USERNAME
    value: <login>
  - name: MAIL_PASSWORD
    value: <pass>
  - name: MAIL_FROM
    value: [email protected]
  - name: MAIL_FROM_NAME
    value: BookStack
ssl: true
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem

Any idea why this is not working?

> # Verify SSL/TLS certificates during SMTP sending
> # WARNING: Disabling verification using a 'false' value 
> # can make you vulnerable to MITM attacks
> MAIL_VERIFY_SSL=false

So I added this to the env section:

- name: MAIL_VERIFY_SSL
  value: false

Result is: “Failed to save add-on configuration, not a valid value.”
