Using Email

In the root folder, look for the .env file. I found mine here

/directory/bookstack/config/www/.env

Edit that file and change the email server info to match your credentials. 

# Mail system to use
# Can be 'smtp' or 'sendmail'
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

# Mail sender details
MAIL_FROM_NAME="BookStack"
MAIL_FROM=bookstack@danicus.net

# SMTP mail options
# These settings can be checked using the "Send a Test Email"
# feature found in the "Settings > Maintenance" area of the system.
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=bookstack@danicus.net
MAIL_PASSWORD=apassward #Google requires a token for this to work
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

 

Google users will need to get a auth code (2 step auth code/token) in order for the password to work.
