Can i use gmail smtp for auth?

[maxdd]

Hello,
i have setup the following

FROM_EMAIL="mymail@gmail.com"
EMAIL_SERVER_HOST="smtp.gmail.com"
EMAIL_SERVER_PORT=587
EMAIL_SERVER_USER="mymail@gmail.com"
EMAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD="app-password"

but i dont get any email nor any messages in the docker log.
Am i missing something?

Gmail SMTP with an app password should work, but there are a few SplitPro-specific things to check.

First, if you are running the app in development mode, SplitPro intentionally does not send some emails. For sign-in emails it logs the sign-in link instead, and for invite emails it logs the invite instead of sending it. So check NODE_ENV; if it is development, not receiving an email may be expected.

Second, make sure the other auth/email settings are enabled:

NEXTAUTH_URL="https://your-public-url.example.com"
NEXTAUTH_SECRET="your-generated-secret"

FROM_EMAIL="mymail@gmail.com"
EMAIL_SERVER_HOST="smtp.gmail.com"
EMAIL_SERVER_PORT="587"
EMAIL_SERVER_USER="mymail@gmail.com"
EMAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD="your-16-character-gmail-app-password"

DISABLE_EMAIL_SIGNUP=false

If you are testing invites, also set:

ENABLE_SENDING_INVITES=true

For Gmail itself, make sure 2-Step Verification is enabled and that EMAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD is the generated Gmail app password, not your normal Google password. Port 587 should be fine for STARTTLS; port 465 is also commonly used for implicit TLS.

If Docker shows nothing, I would also verify the env vars reached the app container, for example by checking the running container environment and making sure you are looking at the app container logs, not only the database/proxy logs.
