I have my local controller running under docker. I can register a new user. However, I don’t ever get the email messages. Not even in the incoming spool, spam filters or junk boxes.
How can I verify that the activation email service is working?
Thanks,
Kelly
Change the URL to use https. Typically when it fails it means the browser did not handle the redirect to https as expected and instead has dumped you to http. The emails will always fail in that exact case.
I believe improvements were made here already, but that won’t help older versions like what’s bundled on the current container image (1.0d).
I’ll save sending you to the Control release notes, but you’ll likely need to perform the following to be able to update the controller, or if the issue persists after switching/checking protocol. It is like a monolithic nix box, so you just update via apt, but you need to fix it first (by running the following):
dpkg --configure -a && apt update && apt upgrade -y
Tried the dpkg command. Always hangs at: Setting up postgresql-15 (15.14-1.pgdg22.04+1) …
It has sat there overnight. Looking now for any errors. In no way am I an expert in containers so please be patient. LOL.
ps shows systemctl start postgresql.service as the hung process. hangs indefinitly at the last line…

Figured out why apt-get was failing at upgrading postgresql…
/run/postgresql and /run/postgresql/15-main.pid had to chown and chgrp to root. Then the process completed. Just clicked on activate on 1.1e with updates. Been waiting 10 minutes but still no login page. I’ll wait more.
OK, got it all sussed out. Have to use the alta host name to get everything done, at least if using a proxy server in front of the container.
