Outgoing Email Configuration

If you install Nimbits Server on your own hardware, you'll need to configure it to send outgoing mail using an SMTP server. By default Nimbits will use Google's gmail service.

Log into the server as an administrator and use the settings menu to set the smtp account and password. Nimbits will send mail using the admin email address, which will be the FROM email for all outgoing mail.

If you are using cloud services, the outgoing admin email should be the site's account owner.

Note that if the system admin is a gmail account, and that account uses 2 Step verification, you should not enter your GMail Password. You should login to Google's App Password site: https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords and setup an app password for your server. Read More Here.

Configure the Server Settings

Login to your new server and configure the server settings.

  • blob dir: The location on the server to store raw data files
  • admin: The server owner's email address. This will also be the from email when sending alerts.
  • Server Token: Used when making API Calls and Web Socket Connections
  • smpt: Set the smtp server and password for sending outgoing email alerts.
