Dokuwiki is a web application that requires mail service, so that when building this blueprint users are asked to supply a working SMTP server and email account that emails can be delivered from. A typical way of doing so is using a Gmail account.
For example your Gmail account is myawesomeapp@gmail.com
whose password being TOPSECRET
, then answers to several of the questions are:
- emailUser:
myawesomeapp
- emailAccount:
myawesomeapp@gmail.com
- emailPassword:
TOPSECRET
- emailServer:
smtp.gmail.com
- emailPort:
587
If you have 2FA setup, then you have to create an App password for it to work, otherwise you may still receive a scary Review blocked sign-in attempt
alert, which you have to be sure that you understand the risk, approve the sign-in attemp, and turn on Less secure app access
