Configure Email Verification
BookLogr supports email-based verification of new accounts. When a user signs up, they will receive a verification code via email if this feature is enabled. The user then needs to use this code to verify their account before being able to login.
note
This feature is disabled by default.
To enable email verification, set the following environment variables in the booklogr-api container:
| Variable | Description | Required | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
AUTH_REQUIRE_VERIFICATION | Enable verification of new accounts | Yes | False |
MAIL_SERVER | SMTP server address | Yes | — |

MAIL_PASSWORD | Password for SMTP authentication | Yes | — |
