Docker logs messages

Hi @Petrogrado_1917, thanks for the details. I went back through this thread and your earlier one (Error sending email), and I think a few separate things are getting mixed together. Let me separate them so we can focus on the one that matters:

  1. The Docker log lines. These come from different actions: removing a user (DELETE .../users/...), sending an invite (POST .../invitations) and a forgot-password request (POST /auth/password/forgot). The license and Redis cache lines are warnings and non-blocking messages. They don’t stop invites or password resets from working.
  2. Inviting members. You’ve confirmed this works, so we can set it aside.
  3. The invited user can’t set their password. This is new in this thread now. It’s almost certainly the same issue as your earlier thread: the invite and reset emails are not being sent (Error sending email), so the user never gets the link to set a password.

So I’d suggest we treat this as a single email-delivery problem. Based on the compose file you shared earlier, please check these:

  • NC_SMTP_PORT: 587 with NC_SMTP_SECURE: true: For Gmail, port 587 needs NC_SMTP_SECURE: false (it upgrades to TLS on its own). If you’d rather keep NC_SMTP_SECURE: true, use port 465. This mismatch is a very common cause of this exact error.
  • NC_SMTP_FROM: This wasn’t in your config. Please add it, set to your Gmail address.
  • NC_SMTP_PASSWORD: Gmail requires an App Password here (2-Step Verification must be on). Your normal account password won’t work.
  • NC_SITE_URL: Invitation and reset emails build their links from this. Please confirm it’s the public URL your users open, including https://, e.g. https://nocodb.yourdomain.com, and not localhost or an internal IP.

Reference: Environment Variables

After changing these, restart the container and trigger a password reset once. Then figure from there.
