Unexpected toke u in JSON at position 0 about ad-hoc-email-server

[o4oren]

Oh, I am terribly sorry! I need to update the article. There is a slightly different way of configuring it now. Please follow the instructions in this link: https://www.ahem.email/blog/post/how-to-set-up-your-own-disposable-email-server It is very similar, but the part about the properies.json is different. I switched to a system that works with rmv variables to better support docker deployment.

Hi, I'm getting the same error and the link you reference is not available. Any other tips you can offer? I'm actually using Docker and it looks like ahem.js reads environment variables, is that right. Will using env variables solve the problem? I'd rather use a json file anyway so please let us know the correct way to configure. Thanks!

[o4oren]

The cloud is gone, the domain exlired today abd I an not renewing it. I don't know what to make of the issue. Can you send me the token?

I've got the Docker container working using environment variables. But I get the JSON error when not using variables. Does ahem.js read properties.json from somewhere? Where would I need to put the file?

To answer your question, the (test) token is: ui6 380 yTqC1w . It works fine as an env variable, so I don't think that's the problem. I think my problem is that my properties.json is not being found.

Cheers!

You can put the properties in a file called .env In the root of the project. If documentation still refers tk properties.json i eill fix that.

I'll try documenting my step-by-step later so you can see what I might of done wrong. I did have an .env file but maybe in the wrong place.

[o4oren]

https://github.com/o4oren/Ad-Hoc-Email-Server/blob/master/README.md I se it is documented correctly. Look here.

I see the error of my ways, thanks.

[o4oren]

Read the documentation. I assume you didn't configure the token secret right.
