Note: If you're running GitLab in development mode and using `foreman`, make sure to also uncomment the `mail_room` line in your `Procfile`.
### Omnibus package installations
TODO
### Development
1. Go to the GitLab installation directory.
1. Find the `reply_by_email` section in `config/gitlab.yml`, enable the feature and enter the email address including a placeholder for the `reply_key`:
```yaml
reply_by_email:
enabled: true
address: "gitlab-replies+%{reply_key}@gmail.com"
```
As mentioned, the part after `+` is ignored, and this will end up in the mailbox for `gitlab-replies@gmail.com`.
2. Find `config/mail_room.yml.example` and copy it to `config/mail_room.yml`:
```sh
sudo cp config/mail_room.yml.example config/mail_room.yml
```
3. Uncomment the configuration options in `config/mail_room.yml` and fill in the details for your specific IMAP server and email account:
```yaml
:mailboxes:
-
# IMAP server host
:host: "imap.gmail.com"
# IMAP server port
:port: 993
# Whether the IMAP server uses SSL
:ssl: true
# Email account username. Usually the full email address.
:email: "gitlab-replies@gmail.com"
# Email account password
:password: "[REDACTED]"
# The name of the mailbox where incoming mail will end up. Usually "inbox".
:name: "inbox"
# Always "sidekiq".
:delivery_method: sidekiq
:delivery_options:
# The URL to the Redis server used by Sidekiq. Should match the URL in config/resque.yml.
:redis_url: redis://localhost:6379
# Always "resque:gitlab".
:namespace: resque:gitlab
# Always "incoming_email".
:queue: incoming_email
# Always "EmailReceiverWorker"
:worker: EmailReceiverWorker
```
4. Uncomment the `mail_room` line in your `Procfile`:
```yaml
mail_room: bundle exec mail_room -q -c config/mail_room.yml
```
6. Restart GitLab:
```sh
bundle exec foreman start
```
7. Check if everything is configured correctly:
```sh
bundle exec rake gitlab:reply_by_email:check RAILS_ENV=development
```
8. Reply by email should now be working.
