Mail configuration: Send Test Email works, but not invite or alert emails

[prasadkancharla]

Hi,

Redash (8) is setup using docker-compose and the environment file is set.
and configured SMTP to use AWS SES.

send_test_email works fine which means I am assuming that the configuration is fine.

But no invite emails are being sent. Can you help me debug.

Looks like this is the problem with creating invitation links. When I tried to run the below command in redash server container

PYTHONPATH=. bin/run ./manage.py users invite toemail@gmail.com ToName me@gmail.com, I get the below error:

raise RuntimeError('Application was not able to create a URL ’
RuntimeError: Application was not able to create a URL adapter for request independent URL generation. You might be able to fix this by setting the SERVER_NAME config variable.

I’ve even added this variable as environment in env file:

But no luck… it still shows the same error.

Please help

@prasadkancharla were you able to resolve this? I am facing the same issue.

[prasadkancharla]

No, I wrote my own script to generate invite links based on the user ids.

from itsdangerous import URLSafeTimedSerializer, SignatureExpired, BadSignature

serializer = URLSafeTimedSerializer(“USER_ID_HERE”)

print(serializer.dumps(str(206)))

Can you please elaborate a bit - where and how is this code used?

I am a noob wrt redash. I am using the docker version of redash installed via AWS AMI.
