Recovery Email URL ignores any environment variable that declares hostname/FQDN, uses URL of user instead #11391
Description
👟 Reproduction steps
Version: v1.8.1
Docker compose method, latest image of course
I have multiple declarations declaring the FQDN in the .env file, so far as I can tell all variables are set to it (whatever.domain.com). This includes:
- _APP_DOMAIN
- _APP_DOMAIN_TARGET
- _APP_DOMAIN_TARGET_CNAME
But when I send a recovery password E-Mail, the link that is E-Mailed to me IGNORES these values, and only uses the URL of the user triggering the password reset.
The way I can tell this is I'm in the later stages of setting up a Dev AppWrite environment, so there's an external NGINX Reverse proxy on the LAN in-front of it. I wanted it to do TLS termination, and just run HTTP/80 from the AppWrite host (VM with Docker Compose).
So in testing to try and figure out why the recovery E-Mail messages kept sending the wrong message, I kept using:
As in, xx.xx.xx.xx is the LAN IP of the AppWrite system.
The webGUI works (with HTTPS forced off, of course), and when I trigger the recovery E-Mail in that context the link in the E-Mail for recovering passwords is http://xx.xx.xx.xx/ INSTEAD of the FQDN (which is what I want every time.
Turning on forced HTTPS and going to https://xx.xx.xx.xx:443/ does not result in the recovery URL being the FQDN, it instead now is https://xx.xx.xx.xx/
The recovery E-Mail link DOES NOT use the FQDN until I access the host via https://whatever.domain.com/ and trigger the password recovery process, THEN the E-Mailed URL is https://whatever.domain.com
So to me this is a bug as the multiple domain declarations are being ignored. This probably includes invites, but I haven't fully tested that yet.
👍 Expected behavior
I expected all E-Mailed URLs to explicitly use some form of the environment variable declared domains. Also this scenario isn't documented anywhere, how am I the first to encounter this?
