no logfile available

I configured my email server in the docker-compose.yml yet I don't get any password reset mails. I checked the log of my mailserver which does not even register a connection attempt.

I don't see anything conclusive when I docker logs, I do get a *ATTENTION* Wrong login for ... on the wrong login but nothing on the attempt to send a pw reset.

https://github.com/KlausSchaefers/qux-java/blob/master/src/main/java/log4j2.xml indicates there might be logs/app.log folder but when I docker exec -it I dont find anything loggy anywhere.

And of course ps -ef says java -jar qux-java/release/qux-server.jar -Xmx2g -conf qux-java/matc.conf -instances 1 got pid 1... which I cant kill (see also https://devops.stackexchange.com/questions/5613/how-to-explicitly-kill-the-process-with-pid-1-from-inside-a-container).

I assume the backend is a spring boot application, so I would like to add sth like --logging.file.name=quantux.log (source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70558476/how-to-set-logging-file-name-through-command-line-arguments-in-spring-boot).

However, for that I stop my containers and docker image rm my images, clone your repo, change your dockerfile, docker build -t bmcgonag/qux-be . and docker-compose up -d but unfortunately there is still no logfile to be found.

Anything that comes to the mind of anybody how I can find out what's wrong with my email settings?

PS: thanks Brian for your youtube videos, they are great.

And the reason for the inability to send e-mail seems to be that /usr/src/quant-be/qux-java/matc.conf has "debug": true and in that case src/main/java/com/qux/MATC.java returns a DebugMailClient instead of a proper MailClient. And there does not seem to be a env variable to override that.

@bmcgonag maybe you want to add an according sed in https://github.com/bmcgonag/quant-ux-docker/blob/main/Backend/Dockerfile ?

Let me work with Klaus to see what the best way is to solve this. I am just taking the project and building a docker around it. I'm happy to try and add the email functionality into it though. Or, if you want to add your changes, and make a pull request, I'm happy to test and approve as well.
