Self-host Novu: Member Invitation are not sent
I noticed that on Novu web. Member Invitation doesn't work. I noticed in the API logs that I need to set MAIL_SERVER_DOMAIN environment variable. Is there any documents on what are other environment variable that I can set? For example, ignoreTLS?

Answer
For configuring Novu in a self-hosted environment, you can set various environment variables to customize its behavior. While the documentation specifically mentions setting up necessary environment variables such as
JWT_SECRET for security purposes, it doesn't explicitly list all available environment variables such as ignoreTLS (1) . Additionally, the environment variables for email service configuration like MAIL_SERVER_DOMAIN are not detailed in the provided documents.
For a comprehensive understanding of all available environment variables and how to configure them, it's advisable to refer to the .env file examples provided in the Novu GitHub repository or the official Novu documentation. This approach will give you insights into environment variables related to email services and other configurations.
If you're looking into specific configurations like ignoreTLS, it might be part of the email service setup, which usually involves configuring a mail server to send notifications. Variables related to email setup could include SMTP server details, ports, and security options. However, without explicit documentation references in the provided sources, direct guidance on setting ignoreTLS cannot be given.
For detailed and specific environment variable configurations like these, checking the official Novu documentation or the Novu GitHub repository for .env examples and further instructions is recommended.Got it. Tagging @Support for additional help.

In self host environment, sending member invitations email is not supported. Invite link can be copied from members page and can be shared directly
Good to know. Thanks!
Glad I could be helpful. Feel free to create a new thread with any new questions you may have.
