how to send emails from my appwrite instance which is running on a digital ocean droplet??

how to setup email sending in appwrite instance if it is hosted on digital ocean droplet

If you're referring to Appwrite emails as magic-link, password reset, etc. then there is no way to control them. (without changing Appwrite the code manually)

And there is no way to use Appwrite (for now) email templates and system, so you'll have to send them manually.

What I mean is that all Appwrite SMTP and email settings are to be used only by your Appwrite but only internally

Ya... clarification would be helpful

Ohh my bad

I mean i have a appwrite instance running on digital ocean

Huh? My comment was to the original poster (OP)

And i need to set up smtp for it

No what kind of email are you trying to send

So that i could have email verification of the user account

Yes, but you make me realize I wasn't responding to the correct issue

You'll need to set SMTP option in your .env file
In digitalocean this file should be in /root/appwrite/.env

You can see the specific here
https://appwrite.io/docs/email-delivery

After updating the SMTP values be sure run

  docker compose up -d

In the Appwrite folder
