Hi all. I’ve tried to register my instance, but I don’t get a mail with my details. I’m hosting in a container app in Azure. Do I need to have any special configuration for this to work? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi
Here some recommended things to check - seems like your instance isn’t sending out the registration email :
SMTP Configuration: n8n requires a properly configured SMTP server to send registration and other system emails. Make sure you have set the necessary environment variables for SMTP in your container. These include N8N_EMAIL_MODE, N8N_SMTP_HOST, N8N_SMTP_PORT, N8N_SMTP_USER, N8N_SMTP_PASS, and N8N_SMTP_SENDER. Without this configuration, emails (including registration and password reset) will not be sent Configure self-hosted n8n for user management.**Azure
Network Restrictions: Some cloud providers, including Azure, may block certain SMTP ports (like 25, 465, or 587) by default to prevent spam. You may need to use an alternative port (such as 2525, if supported by your SMTP provider) or request that Azure unblock the required port. This is a common issue on other platforms as well Forum: Reset Password - SMTP is not working.
Correct Base URLs: If you are running n8n behind a proxy or using a custom domain, ensure that the environment variables for N8N_PROTOCOL, N8N_HOST, N8N_PORT, N8N_EDITOR_BASE_URL, and WEBHOOK_URL are set correctly. Incorrect URLs can cause issues with email links and registration Forum: Activation key email submit not working.
