I have successfully completed all the steps to setup a discussion forum for my company. I have TLS enabled and force_https is checked in settings. The activation emails to new users are sent with http instead of https. e.g Welcome to Folio3 NS Community! Click the following link to confirm and activate your new account: http://ns-community.folio3.com/u/activate-account/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I check the email tempate in settings from UI , and there is a variable base_url which is containing http and my domain name. Any ideas on how to update the base_url, so that it contains http instead of https. (My site is accessible by https not http) M. Saqib

It was my bad. I somehow missed the settings “force_https” and it was showing checked to me. (may be browser caching) Another developer from my team checked that option and the emails are now received having links correctly as https. Thank you all for your valuable comments!

If i go to your site ns-community.folio3.com I do not get the https version of it [image] This will mean, that emails that are sent with give the http:// version as it also dont get the https:// version the email is setup like this: Welcome to %{site_name}! Click the following link to confirm and activate your new account: %{base_url}/u/activate-account/%{email_token} If the above link is not clickable, try copying and pasting it into the address bar of your web browser. I would suggest you look at your https:// setup. Once you fix that, your email links will be fixed.

Another application(gitlab) is hosted at port 80 i.e http. Do you mean, I have to add a rediection to https on my port 80 , to make the base_url string get the correct https in the beginning?

Sounds like you need to go through this guide: [image] Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse Self-Hosting If you want to run other websites on the same machine as Discourse, you need to set up an extra NGINX or HAProxy proxy in front of the Docker container. NOTE: This is for advanced admins This guide assumes you already have Discourse working - if you don’t, it may be hard to tell whether or not the configuration is working. You cannot use ./discourse-setup to set up Discourse if another server is using port 80 or 443. You will need to copy and edit samples/standalone.yml with your favorite tex…
