Self hosted server not sharing notes

Support
1

Operating system

Android

Joplin version

3.3.8

Sync target

Joplin Server

What issue do you have?

Recent install of the self hosted Joplin server along with desktop & 2 android apps.
I've created 2 different users for the 2 android apps but can't get sharing working or even the invitation to join the shared Notebook.
Is this working on the self hosted server or have I missed something when setting up?
I don't see any emails being sent out and nothing shows in the log after trying to share a note.
Edit..having checked through I see the account activation emails sitting there but not having been sent, should this be handled by joplin server or do I need to enable some sort of email add-on?
Any help much appreciated.

You're using Joplin Server? And you're attempting to share notes between two users? Did you set up your SMTP server in your docker-compose.yml file? It should look something like this:

        environment:
            - APP_PORT=22300
            - APP_BASE_URL=${APP_BASE_URL}
            - DB_CLIENT=pg
            - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
            - POSTGRES_DATABASE=${POSTGRES_DATABASE}
            - POSTGRES_USER=${POSTGRES_USER}
            - POSTGRES_PORT=${POSTGRES_PORT}
            - POSTGRES_HOST=db
            - MAILER_ENABLED=1
            - MAILER_HOST=smtp.server.tld
            - MAILER_PORT=587
            - MAILER_SECURITY=1
            - MAILER_AUTH_USER=email@domain.tld
            - MAILER_AUTH_PASSWORD=PASSWORD
            - MAILER_NOREPLY_NAME=joplinserver
            - MAILER_NOREPLY_EMAIL=email@domain.tld

You can also log in to your instance and see the emails there. Admin and under General click on Emails.

That sounds like the issue.
I installed via the casaos app store so no docker compose required. Do you know which file that info ends up in and I can edit to add the required details?
