copitz/firemailer repository overview

⁠Firemailer

Write e-mails to Firebase database and let them get sent with Nodemailer⁠

This tiny daemon script monitors a configurable firebase path for emails and passes them to Nodemailer to let them get sent over SMTP or another Nodemailer transporter.

⁠Installation

⁠Docker compose

The quickest way to get this up and running as the docker-compose already contains Docker-SMTP⁠.

git clone [email protected]:copitz/firemailer.git
cd firemailer
docker-compose up

⁠Docker

docker run -v config.js:/opt/app/config.js copitz/firemailer

⁠Node

git clone [email protected]:copitz/firemailer.git
cd firemailer
cp config.example.js config.js
npm install
node app.js

⁠Configuration

• Copy config.example.js to config.js
• Set the correct Firebase URL
• Set your transport options as for nodemailer.createTransport()⁠

⁠Sending an email

Assuming you set config.firebase.path to "mails" and the firemailer daemon is running, sending an email via firebase is as easy as:

Firebase.database().ref('mails').push({
    to: '[email protected]',
    from: '"Christian Opitz" <[email protected]>',
    subject: 'Hello world',
    text: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet'
});
