hello,

trying to figure out why bitwarden_rs docker won't load the email templates from the TEMPLATES_FOLDER variable. tried a lof of things, read all stuff, but something I don't get it.

here's my commnd line :
sudo docker run -d --name abc \ --rm \ -e ROCKET_TLS={certs='"/ssl/fullchain.pem",key="/ssl/privkey.pem"'} \ -v /ssl/keys/:/ssl/ \ -v /icon_cache/ \ -e SMTP_HOST=smtp.smtpserver.com \ -e SMTP_FROM=yo@mydomain \ -e SMTP_FROM_NAME=mydomain \ -e SMTP_PORT=587 \ -e SMTP_SSL=true \ -e SMTP_USERNAME=498eeb4 \ -e SMTP_PASSWORD=498eeb4 \ -e INVITATIONS_ALLOWED=true \ -e DISABLE_2FA_REMEMBER=false \ -e SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=false \ -e ROCKET_PORT='8000' \ -e DOMAIN=https://mydomain:8000 \ -v /bw-data-sv/:/data/ \ -p 0.0.0.0:8000:8000 \ -e RELOAD_TEMPLATES=true \ -e TEMPLATES_FOLDER=data/templates \ -e LOG_LEVEL=debug \ -e LOG_FILE=/log.txt \ bitwardenrs/server:latest

from the debug file, the output of the email is the original one. it seems to not loading the path correctly as the folder have the custom email templates .hbs files.

host folder /bw-data-sv/templates

@instance-2:/bw-data-sv/templates$ ls -la
total 96

12383 Jul 24 16:07 pw_hint_some.html.hbs
553 Jul 24 16:07 send_org_invite.hbs
13190 Jul 24 17:07 send_org_invite.html.hbs

do you see something wrong ? should I need to create my own docker image ?

thank you for any tips,

I think the templates need to be in a email subfolder, so: bw-data/templates/email/<name>.hbs

even with
/bw-data-sv/templates/email/*.hbs
/data/templates/email/*.hbs file, the template won't load ,

the log returns always

[2019-07-30 19:31:25][lettre::smtp::client][DEBUG] Wrote: DATA
[2019-07-30 19:31:25][lettre::smtp::client][DEBUG] Read: 354 End data with .
[2019-07-30 19:31:25][lettre::smtp::client][DEBUG] Wrote: Subject: Join organisation.comTo:

and we have modified the subject in hbs file for "joignez-vous" (french translation),
and as you can see, the default subject "Join.." appears.

Should I need to create my own docker image?
