Deploy Asciinema-server without namshi container

[mohatb]

Hi, is it possible to change the server to send emails without using namshi container? for example SMTP AUTH client submission in office 365 ?

We managed to do so by changing the last part of /config/prod.exs and build a new docker image out of it.

The original config file looks like this.

config :asciinema, Asciinema.Emails.Mailer,
  deliver_later_strategy: Asciinema.BambooExqStrategy,
  adapter: Bamboo.SMTPAdapter,
  server: "smtp",
  port: 25

And here's our modified config. Note that we are using Office 365 China version and you may change the address.

config :asciinema, Asciinema.Emails.Mailer,
  deliver_later_strategy: Asciinema.BambooExqStrategy,
  adapter: Bamboo.SMTPAdapter,
  server: "smtp.partner.outlook.cn",
  port: 587,
  username: "a@b.com",
  password: "my-password",
  ssl: false,
  tls: :always,
  auth: :always,
  allowed_tls_versions: [:"tlsv1.2"],
  retries: 2

Note: To make it work, ssl needs to be "false" while tls needs to be ":always".

I've created a wiki page about this, showing how this can be configured without rebuilding the image - https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-server/wiki/SMTP-configuration

You can now configure SMTP server directly on the asciinema-server with SMTP_* variables as documented here: https://docs.asciinema.org/manual/server/self-hosting/configuration/#email

No need for namshi/smtp containers, in fact I've removed it from the docs.
