What browsers are you seeing the problem on if you're using web version?

Chrome

Anything else?

By the way, I see that AFFiNE Cloud storage is 10GB, and there is a storage limit for self hosted?

Are you willing to submit a PR?

• Yes I'd like to help by submitting a PR!

You should need to configure the mail service on the selfhost docker, we are preparing a document about this.

selfhost should have unlimited storage.

I haven't tested it yet, but if you encounter storage size limitations it should be a bug and you can open an issue.

I was able to complete this just using the GraphQL API, but it requires quite a bit of tinkering to do. Looking forward to the email documentation is completed. In short if anybody else needs it:

https://localhost:3010/graphql

Go to settings and enable:

  "request.credentials": "include"

This makes cookies work in the playground so you can login and do operations.

Sign up with a second account:

mutation {
     signUp(email: "second@example.com", name: "Second", password: "123") {
         id
     }
}

Sign into the first account and create an invite

mutation {
  signIn(email: "first@example.com", password:"123") {
    id
    name
  }
}

Find your workspace ID, in the browser make sure it's cloud synced then copy the id in the url http://localhost/workspace/<id>/

Then create an invite, this will return an ID, take note of it

mutation {
  invite(
    email: "second@example.com"
    permission: Admin
    sendInviteMail: false
    workspaceId: "xxx-xxx-xx-xxx-xxx"
  )
}

Sign into the second account

mutation {
  signIn(email: "second@example.com", password:"123") {
    id
    name
  }
}

Then accept the invite

mutation {
  acceptInviteById(
    inviteId: "copy-id-from-invite-mutation"
    sendAcceptMail: false
    workspaceId: "your-workspace-id"
  )
}

Anyway, that was my approach for now.

It's actually quite simple to configure the mailing service. After deployment, I took a look inside the configuration directory which includes a file named affine.env.js containing all possible environment variable keys. Here's the section responsible for getting the SMTP config:

    MAILER_HOST: 'mailer.host',
    MAILER_PORT: ['mailer.port', 'int'],
    MAILER_USER: 'mailer.auth.user',
    MAILER_PASSWORD: 'mailer.auth.pass',
    MAILER_SENDER: 'mailer.from.address',
    MAILER_SECURE: ['mailer.secure', 'boolean'],

So you just need to pass in these environment variables during startup and all should be good.

Hi, I tried your solution but not working for me. I want to configure gmail.

Can you help me ?

[yurisasc]

@Jycreyn I managed to get the mailing service working with Gmail.

You have the MAILER_HOST and MAILER_PORT correct.
MAILER_USER needs to be your email address
MAILER_PASSWORD is the app password that I set using this docs: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en
I didn't have to set MAILER_SENDER.

[Jycreyn]

@yurisasc

Yeah, I used app password. You did not use "MAIL_SECURE" either ?

thanks

[yurisasc]

@Jycreyn no, I didn't

[Jycreyn]

@yurisasc

you left spaces in the password ?

[yurisasc]

@Jycreyn no, the password should be the 16 digits characters without spaces.
