Installation Issues

Hello,

The healtcheck give me this warning according the app configuration, and I don’t know what the problem is

Application configuration

[PASS] Using latest passbolt version (4.1.1).
[PASS] Passbolt is configured to force SSL use.

[INFO] Registration is closed, only administrators can add users.
[PASS] The deprecated self registration public setting was not found in /var/www/passbolt/config/passbolt.php.

[WARN] Host availability checking is disabled.

[HELP] Make sure this instance is not publicly available on the internet.
[HELP] Or set the PASSBOLT_EMAIL_VALIDATE_MX environment variable to true.

[WARN] Host availability checking is disabled.

This just means that the setting to check the MX record for the user email addresses is off. With this off you can create users with clearly non-valid email addresses such as test@test.local and if this check is turned on it will not allow that

[WARN] Some email notifications are disabled by the administrator.

This is mainly just to point you to look at the Email Notifications tab on the Administration workspace if you don’t get an email you were expecting. This doesn’t mean there is an issue just a heads up to look there and make sure you actually want those emails turned off

Thank you @clayton that was helpful.

Hey guys.
I saw the answer in question and understood the purpose perfectly.
My question is, how can I change the configuration?

Hey @OuverneY welcome to the forum!

Which configuration are you looking to change?

An example would be to remove the warnings…
[WARN] Host availability checking is disabled.
[WARN] Some email notifications are disabled by the administrator.

For the email notifications you can find those under the administration workspace

For the host availability checking it will depend on your installation method, there will either be an environment variable PASSBOLT_EMAIL_VALIDATE_MX or a setting in your /etc/passbolt/passbolt.php file as mentioned in the help lines

[HELP] Or set the PASSBOLT_EMAIL_VALIDATE_MX environment variable to true.
[HELP] Or set passbolt.email.validate.mx to true in /var/www/passbolt/config/passbolt.php.
