Maildev notes

We use maildev for developing any email-related functionality. For demo and development systems, any sent email will be collected by maildev and will not reach the outside world.

​
Local development

Maildev isn’t part of the default docker-compose.yml. To capture mail locally, add a maildev service to your compose setup (or point the API’s SMTP at one); its web UI then runs on port 1080 and shows emails sent by the system.

​
Demo nodes

This is also set up on demo nodes with credentials. The smtp_* environment variables determine the username and password required. You can log into the maildev instance at: http://{branch}.demo.pixwel.com:1080/

​
Staging

Because Staging is on multiple nodes, Maildev is set up on Jenkins and listens on http://stagingmaildev.pixwel.com/#/ . This is a reverse proxy over http://jenkins.pixwel.com:1080/ 
# /etc/nginx/conf.d/001-stagingmaildev.conf
server {
    listen  80;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/stagingmaildev_access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginxstagingmaildev_error.log;
    server_name stagingmaildev.pixwel.com;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://jenkins.pixwel.com:1080/;
    }
}
