GitLab set up to send invite Email to new members - puppet

Question

I'm new to setting up Gitlab.
I have used the VSHN puppet module to install Gitlab in AWS.
The Gitlab server is running fine but the email invite is not working for anyone.
I have used the following configuration in site.pp file.
node 'client-ip-address' {
class { 'gitlab':
external_url => 'http://client-ip-address',
}
}
Could anyone please tell me what configuration is required to set up email notification?

Answer 1

Depending on your method of email, it will be configured with the gitlab rails option configuration documented here: https://github.com/vshn/puppet-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#usage
Documentation on examples for various email providers here: https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/smtp.html#example-configuration
For example, the most basic one:
class { 'gitlab':
external_url => 'http://gitlab.mydomain.tld',
gitlab_rails => {
'smtp_enable' => true,
},
}
For gmail:
class { 'gitlab':
external_url => 'http://gitlab.mydomain.tld',
gitlab_rails => {
'smtp_address' => "smtp.gmail.com"
'smtp_port' => 587
'smtp_user_name' => "my.email#gmail.com"
'smtp_password' => "my-gmail-password"
'smtp_domain' => "smtp.gmail.com"
'smtp_authentication' => "login"
'smtp_enable_starttls_auto' => true
'smtp_tls' => false
'smtp_openssl_verify_mode' => 'peer'
},
}
