External services

Texterify makes use of some external services. Below you find instructions on how to configure them.

E-Mail

You need to configure a mail server so Texterify can send emails (e.g. password forgot emails). Make use of the following configuration options to integrate your mail server or provider:

Name	Default	Description
SMTP_FROM_EMAIL	no-reply@example.com	Set the from and reply-to email of the emails (e.g. no-reply@example.com). In previous versions only the domain could be changed via MAILER_HOST.
SMTP_ADDRESS	localhost	The address of the mail server.
SMTP_PORT	25	The port of the mail server.
SMTP_DOMAIN		If you need to specify a HELO domain.
SMTP_USER_NAME		Specify a username if your server requires authentication.
SMTP_PASSWORD		Specify a password if your server requires authentication.
SMTP_AUTHENTICATION		You can specify the authentication type here. Choose one of the following if needed: plain (will send the password in the clear) login (will send password Base64 encoded) cram_md5 (combines a Challenge/Response mechanism to exchange information and a cryptographic Message Digest 5 algorithm to hash important information)
SMTP_ENABLE_STARTTLS_AUTO	true	Determines if STARTTLS is enabled in your SMTP server and starts to use it.
SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE		When you use TLS you can define how OpenSSL checks the certificate. Choose one of the following if needed: none peer
SMTP_TLS	false	Enables the SMTP connection to use SMTP/TLS (SMTPS: SMTP over direct TLS connection).

Machine translation

Texterify does all the handling around machine translation for you, but the text is finally translated by DeepL. Therefore if you want to use machine translation you need to configure DeepL:

Name	Default	Description
DEEPL_API_TOKEN		If you want to use machine translation you need to create an account on www.deepl.com and set your API token here.

info

This feature requires communication outside of your network. If a proxy is required for communication you can set the proxy with the http_proxy environment variable.

Over the air translations

The over the air feature works by hosting the translation files on the Google Cloud. If you need to make use of this feature you will have to create a storage bucket and configure it:

Name	Default	Description
GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT		The name of your Google Cloud project.
GOOGLE_CLOUD_KEYFILE		The Google Cloud key file used for authentication. See here for more information.
GOOGLE_CLOUD_OTA_BUCKET_NAME		The name of the bucket used for storing the translation bundles.

info

This feature requires communication outside of your network. If a proxy is required for communication you can set the proxy with the http_proxy environment variable.
