Hello, I am new to discourse. So forgive me if my questions are simple. I rented a cloud from Hetzner. I will start Ubuntu installation and discourse installation but I don’t know how to set smtp email settings on the server. Is there any instruction how to set email settings?

I started service from brevo. I can’t do dns record operation from domain records. If I do, I will go to setup and other settings. There is actually a process that seems simple but very complicated.

Hi @Can, could you please share your email configuration for a more traceable solution?

Except for email configuration After ./discourse-setup command I get the error -bash: ./discourse-setup:No such file or directory.

@Can looks like the ./discourse-setup command isn’t showing up because the Discourse Docker repo might not have been set up right. Try this: Run sudo -s to switch to root. Clone the repo:git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git /var/discourse Go to the directory:cd /var/discourse Set permissions (just in case):chmod 700 containers Once you’re in /var/discourse, you should be able to run ./discourse-setup. Give that a shot one more time and it should be working fine.
