I got Authentik to install and run, but when im trying to set up email configuration, the docs say to add the env vars and then run the command ak test_email <to_address> but when im in the lxc console, that command doesnt exist. the helper script desc specifies a config location to input the needed vars but im still not sure how to test the config.

Does anyone know how to run ak cli commands while in the lxc container? or another way to test the email config?

This page covers both configuring authentik to send emails and testing that email delivery is working.

cd /opt/authentik then run the command?

But you know, that tool is not usable for productive? its in dev since weeks

We use uv, so maybe you need to run it with uv

cd /opt/authentik
uv run ak test_email [email protected]

Thank you very much for the help! I'll try that.

As a follow up, there are spots to add email vars in the config file, is that the best place for them or is there an env file I should be changing?
