I'm searching now for hours threw the internet but found nothing what would suit my case.
I have a mailu docker installed on my server and I want to send emails from my meteor application threw this container.
I set my MAIL_URL variable like process.env.MAIL_URL = 'smtps://USERNAME:PASSWORD@DOCKER-IP:465'; and this is working when I use also the global variable NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = 0 but I don't want to use it, because of security reasons.
When I send emails from my meteor app on my laptop and using my email server mail.foo.com instead of the docker-id like smtps://USERNAME:PASSWORD@mail.foo.com:465 then it also works. So from outside I have no problem but when I'm on the server I can't use localhost like smtps://USERNAME:PASSWORD@localhost:465 or smtps://USERNAME:PASSWORD@mail.foo.com:465.
As @natevw said in Node.js Hostname/IP doesn't match certificate's altnames:
It would be better to first diagnose why the certificate is not authorizing and see if that could be fixed instead.
I would say my problem is that the internal docker-ip address is not in the certificate included. So in my view I would say I have two options:
- I could add somehow the ip address to the certificate
- I could use somehow the localhost or domain name instead of the internal container id
But I sadly don't know how to achieve one of them.
If you need some configs or something like that please comment and I will edit this post.
Thanks in advance, Michael
