Hi, starting a forum, completely new to discourse, hosted on DO, for some reason has issue with smtp or port issue. Now, wanted to find out if you have gone with google logins or social logins and no issue if local sign ups/logins is not in your forum

[图片] abeen: hosted on DO, SMTP is blocked on DO by default. If you want to use mail, you’ll need to find a proxy somewhere. Lots of people have said that Mailgun is what works good for Discourse on the cloud but that is not something I have experience with. This might be what you’re after: …

great, i’ve tried sendgrid, mailgun & resend. have same issue, could be port issue, tried all ports. For now I want to see if social logins are fine, and get rid of local logins.

You can disable the enable local logins site setting if you wish to remove local logins. You can also try Discourse ID .

my site has crashed now. it is a new site with few members, not sure how to download my custom pages and members. don’t want to use smtp at all.
