Nodemailer on docker?

It would be possible to install nodemailer on a docker image?

Nodemailer is just an npm package:

So, as long as you have a Docker image that has node, you can install it there.

Thanks Janis. I dont understand how email works. Transactional emails are configured by default? Just mailgun needed for bulk sending? It would be possible to install a ghost on docker with nodemailer instaled?

Nodemailer is “built in” to Ghost. You do not need to install it.

However, for transactional emails you will need to set them up:

The setup is the same in Docker as it is for other installations. The difference is that it’s probably easier to just set environment variables:

So, this:

"mail": {
  "transport": "SMTP",
  "options": {
    "service": "Mailgun",
    "auth": {
      "user": "postmaster@example.mailgun.org",
      "pass": "1234567890"
    }
  }
},

Would then become:

mail__transport="SMTP"
mail__options__service="Mailgun"
mail__options__auth__user="postmaster@example.mailgun.org"
mail__options__auth__pass="1234567890"
