Sending mail from docker image in pipeline

Jani Ruohomaa

Hi,

I am pulling down my own docker image from docker hub in bitbucket pipelines and would like to send mail from within the docker image

I am using mail command and everything works fine when running the docker image on my own computer. I am using gmail as the mail provider.

but when I do the same in pipeline it does not work. I don't get any error message or anything so that I would see what is actually wrong

I tried to put the debug logs on on the mail command but I don't get any output in pipeline

on my local laptop (wls2 on windows), I get some debug log output and like said before it works fine

Any ideas what's wrong ?

Hi @Jani Ruohomaa

Thank you for your question!

It's a great case for the custom pipe. We have cool and simple guides How to create a custom pipe as part of 12 days of CI/CD series.

Usage example for your custom pipe could be the next:

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
      script:
       - pipe: docker://your-repository/your-custom_email-image:latest
         variables:
           USERNAME: $USERNAME
           PASSWORD: $PASSWORD

Cheers,
