On my server I run postfix as an SMTP server to my passbolt server.
And I have 2 issues with it. On my main computer where I did the passbolt setup I can access my passwords. I can send test email from web interface and I receive them. But When I want to login from a new machine I enter the email that I logged in with on my main PC, I accept the “I accept the terms” and I click on the next button and it says “Check your mailbox!” but the email never arrives. I already spent so much time seeking the answer but I did not found it.
My other problem is that I can’t access it with my phone. The web interface has https but with self assigned certificate. When I scan the qr code an error comes up it saying “something was wrong”, then I try to add my account manually with user ID, Account URL (I think that is the web interface’s URL (for me it is: https:/192.168.0.3)), and with the Private key but then it stuck on an infinite loop of sign in.

It was on the host. And there is an /etc/passbolt folder inside the container
Ok, that healthcheck looks a better. The SSL issue is expected based on what you said about using self signed certs.
For the email issue can you check the database for any errors with email sending?
The query for that is select email, subject, error, created, sent from email_queue;
For mobile, since you are using an internal IP address, just to be 100% sure your phone is on the same network as the passbolt installation, correct?
After I edited the docker-compose-ce.yaml file for the EMAIL_TRANSPORT_DEFAULT_HOST from localhost to the ip address of the host server now it shows this:
www-data@3786c68d834b:/usr/share/php/passbolt$ ./bin/cake passbolt send_test_email --recipient=root@jczeppeli.home

Congratulations!
If you receive this email, it means that your passbolt smtp configuration is working fine.

The message has been successfully sent!
And after I wanted to log in with a new machine I could, but I had to wait a little bit for the email to arrive ( ~1-2mins ).
But the phone still inside an infinite loop of sign in after the certificate is installed…
