Configure mail service on Alfresco Community 7.2 installed using Docker Compose

Phfirst — Thu, 09 Jun 2022 11:27:37 GMT

Hello community
I installed alfresco Community 7.2 using Docker Compose on Ubuntu 20.04
I want to implement mail service for notifications. I followed the official documentation but found that I may not have the alfresco-global.properties file where to add the properties.
However, I have four alfresco-global.properties files located at:
/var/lib/docker/overlay2/615da5d5f405f76a9b1eca9143061ab4f42bb7c0221488544ea1ff5bdf61f6dd/diff/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/module/alfresco-share-services/alfresco-global.properties

/var/lib/docker/overlay2/b2b206abb8d61b31245e997d9c528d84ae00ef0df98a6bba10b431c440d6392a/diff/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/module/alfresco-share-services/alfresco-global.properties

/var/lib/docker/overlay2/502e766e1649c6a6c8bb73354bb77a8f6c126acd6d99fad635048a6a2a20b64c/diff/usr/local/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

/var/lib/docker/overlay2/adce94ea8056b9973759739f4f56379fa832d1739e0c627f50bbc5d32643b25b/diff/usr/local/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

The first two contain only:
# Disable load of sample site
#
sample.site.disabled=false

And the last two are empty. So I don't know in which files to put the properties

I followed this instruction from the hub ( https://hub.alfresco.com/t5/alfresco-content-services-forum/alfresco-community-6-2-docker-outbound-email-configuration/m-p/306366#M23829 ) where it's the docker-compose.yml file which contains the properties but my email is not sent. In the logs, I get the following errors after adding a user to a site or after assigning a workflow to a user:

2022-06-09 10:48:50,801 ERROR [action.executer.MailActionExecuter] [http-nio-8080-exec-7] Failed to send email to ***********@gmail.com : org.springframework.mail.MailSendException: Mail server connection failed; nested exception is com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.example.com, 25; timeout -1; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: smtp.example.com.

Here are the added properties:

-notification.email.siteinvite=true
-Dmail.host=smtp.gmail.com
-Dmail.port=465
-Dmail.username=***************@gmail.com
-Dmail.password=***************
-Dmail.protocol=smtps
-Dmail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
-Dmail.smtps.auth=true
-mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
-mail.smtps.auth=true

Here are my constraints, what can I do?
Please help me to get out of this. Tanks.

You can use Docker environment variables for every Alfreco property you need to add.

Just modify your docker-compose.yml file to include mail settings:

services:
    alfresco:
        environment:
            JAVA_OPTS : '
              -Dnotification.email.siteinvite=true
              -Dmail.host=smtp.gmail.com
              -Dmail.port=465
              -Dmail.username=***************@gmail.com
              -Dmail.password=***************
              -Dmail.protocol=smtps
              -Dmail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
              -Dmail.smtps.auth=true
              -Dmail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
              -Dmail.smtps.auth=true
            '

            '

Thank you for your reply.
But it still does not work (the email is not sent).
Here is the error I get in the when I add a user to a site:

ERROR [action.executer.MailActionExecuter] [http-nio-8080-exec-10] Failed to send email to ***********@gmail.com : org.springframework.mail.MailSendException: Mail server connection failed; nested exception is com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.example.com, 25; timeout -1; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: smtp.example.com.

We can see in the error the host smtp.example.com port 25 while I used as host smtp.gmail.com and 465 as port number. I don't know where this comes from.

As mentioned by @angelborroy you need to pass the params correctly.

Please share your full docker-compose file.

Re: Configure mail service on Alfresco Community 7.2 installed using Docker Compose

Hello,
Thanks for your help.
I think I put the parameters correctly as you say but sending the E-mail does not always work. And the following error remains:

Spoiler

ERROR [action.executer.MailActionExecuter] [http-nio-8080-exec-5] Failed to send email to akakpokophonso@gmail.com : org.springframework.mail.MailSendException: Mail server connection failed; nested exception is com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.example.com, 25; timeout -1; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: smtp.example.com. Failed messages: com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.example.com, 25; timeout -1; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: smtp.example.com; message exceptions (1) are:Failed message 1: com.sun.mail.util.MailConnectException: Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.example.com, 25; timeout -1; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: smtp.example.com

Is there any other configuration to do that I don't know?

Also the official (...) documentation talks about MANAGING OUTGOING EMAILS where it states to put parameters by opening the Admin console, Mail Services then Outgoing Email; apart from CONFIGURE OUTGOING EMAILS. Is this an additional configuration that needs to be done too or not?

And here is my docker-compose.yml:

Re: Configure mail service on Alfresco Community 7.2 installed using Docker Compose

You docker-compose file look ok. Based on the error it seems lime there is somewhere the config is being overriden.

"Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.example.com, 25; timeout -1; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: smtp.example.com"

You are using smtp.gmail.com and 465 but error refers to a different host.

No additonal config is needed if you have the properties set. but if you have somehow updated the config via admin tools, then that may be taking precedence.

See if you somehow update the configs via admin console, try to match the Hostname and Email Server Port with the same properties you are using in docker-compose.yml file and see if that helps.

I don't know if you are talking about the emails config in the admin console or any other config. I still did not make a config related to emails in the administration console.

However, I made customizations in other places including:

- change of logo in the share interface

- the creation of a personal theme in: /var/lib/docker/overlay2/63ad428db391e61747765f2fd423a0b6535fec89fd53ef58bcc3e0906aa811b3/diff/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/share/themes/ where the other theme folders are also located

- the modification of the css in login.css in: /var/lib/docker/overlay2/63ad428db391e61747765f2fd423a0b6535fec89fd53ef58bcc3e0906aa811b3/diff/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/share/components/guest/

- the creation of a customTheme.xml file in: /var/lib/docker/overlay2/63ad428db391e61747765f2fd423a0b6535fec89fd53ef58bcc3e0906aa811b3/diff/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-data/themes/

- modification of messages in slingshot.properties in : /var/lib/docker/overlay2/63ad428db391e61747765f2fd423a0b6535fec89fd53ef58bcc3e0906aa811b3/diff/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/messages/

- and the modification of the css of the footer.css in: /var/lib/docker/overlay2/63ad428db391e61747765f2fd423a0b6535fec89fd53ef58bcc3e0906aa811b3/diff/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/share/components/footer/

Is it these changes that are causing the settings in docker-compose.yml to not be taken into account?

What i meant that, try updating from admin console once and see if that picks up. Sometimes we play around thing and unknowingly change values.

All your share theme changes has no relation to smtp or anything with repo.

Re: Configure mail service on Alfresco Community 7.2 installed using Docker Compose

Phfirst — Sat, 18 Jun 2022 14:49:02 GMT

It is well noted.
But unfortunately I don't know how to access the administration console in question and how to do ts update.
Or, do you want to talk about this one bellow (Alfresco Administration Console (admin only)) ?

Re: Configure mail service on Alfresco Community 7.2 installed using Docker Compose

abhinavmishra14 — Tue, 21 Jun 2022 14:16:03 GMT

yes, this the admin console i mentioned. It seems somehow those properties are overriden and that's why it tries to connect to smtp.example.com. You have to investigate that

As you can see, click on "Alfresco Administration Console" (make sure you are logged in as admin user or have admin previledges). You will find the settings for email configs as stated here: https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/latest/config/email/#manage-outbound-emails

or connect to Alfresco using jconsole and update the properties via JMX mbeans.

I always thank you for your help.
When I access the Admin Console, I can't find myself. I do not know in particular how to find the parameters concerned in the file which it is necessary in order to check if they are correct or not as you recommend it to me. (remember that I use Docker).
Can I find a tutorial to do this? Any other advice or recommendation will also be welcome.

Actually, I'm a newbie and this is my first time to work on Alfresco. And I need your help to get through this, sorry.
Here is the console interface (in the Templates and messages Console section) :

And here is the complete output of the help command :

ok> show file-list <filesClassPath>

Show list of files located at <filesClassPath> with first match being listed for each filename.

<filesClassPath> class path to a list of files. Wildcard * is allowed. For example, to see
a list of message resource bundles that would be loaded, use: /path1/path2/bundlename*.properties

Please, someone was able to find an answer to my problem or another way to solving ?

I am trying to start the the instal again to see if there will be a change.

Thanks in advance.
