[Question] How to get email working on Lemmy-Ansible install? (self.selfhost)

I used the ansible method to install Lemmy on a DigitalOcean VPS. They do block port 25 and there is no way around that. I tried to change the port from 25 to 465 in the config.hjson file but still no luck. I am super new to this but I want to get this working so bad. I'm so close! The site is working fine, just no emails. I've checked spam, trash, etc. - nothing is getting sent.

Check the logs of your postfix instance

I tried to get that using:

 sudo docker compose logs postfix

and it just responds:

 no configuration file provided: not found

Any ideas?

Since you're getting logs via docker compose you should either be in the directory that holds docker-compose.yml or specify the full path to the file using -f flag.

Oh shoot, that makes sense. Now I just have to figure out where ansible puts that...
