gitlab built half a year ago
It uses postfix to send emails, but the disadvantage of doing so is that many companies will directly treat this as spam
There's not even a fart left in the mailboxes
So consider using smtp
Idea 1 Use bitnamin's one-click installation of gitlab
However, there are too many files to be modified, about 3 or so, failure
Idea 2 After installing gitlab, modify /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
The modified file can refer to http://ruby-china.org/topics/20450
My own configuration is as follows, slightly different from the reference
gitlab_rails['gitlab_email_from'] = 'xxxxxx.com'
gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = "xxxxxx.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 994
gitlab_rails['smtp_user_name'] = "[email protected]"
gitlab_rails['smtp_password'] = "xxxxxx"
gitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = "xxxxxx.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = "plain"
gitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_tls'] = true
But in fact, the most useful thing is to refer to the gitlab-ctl tail command in the url

You can see what went wrong. The way out this time was discovered by rubbing your head against the south wall.
