InfluxDB Enterprise requires a functioning SMTP server to invite users to the console.
|
|||
|
|
If you’re working on Ubuntu 14.04 and are looking for an SMTP server to use for
|
|||
|
|
development purposes, the following steps will get you up and running with [MailCatcher](https://mailcatcher.me/).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Note that MailCatcher will NOT send actual emails, it merely captures email
|
|||
|
|
traffic from the cluster and allows you to view it in a browser.
|
|||
|
|
If you want to invite other users you must set up an actual email server that the InfluxDB Enterprise process can use.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### 1. Install the relevant packages on the server running the InfluxDB Enterprise Web Console
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:brightbox/ruby-ng
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo apt-get update
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install ruby2.2 ruby2.2-dev build-essential libsqlite3-dev
|
|||
|
|
$ sudo gem install mailcatcher
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
#### 2. Start MailCatcher
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ mailcatcher --ip=0.0.0.0 --http-ip=0.0.0.0
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
#### 3. Update the InfluxDB Enterprise configuration file
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In `/etc/influx-enterprise/influx-enterprise.conf`, update the port setting in
|
|||
|
|
the `[smtp]` section to `1025`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### 4. Restart the InfluxDB Enterprise Web Console
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ service influx-enterprise restart
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
View emails at `<your_server's_IP_address>:1080`.
