To enable email delivery, you can additionally append the COURIER_SMTP_CONNECTION_URI environment-variable to the kratos service:

Vulnerability database: The API downloads the latest vulnerability database on first start. This may take several minutes. Vulnerability data and scan results won't be complete until the download finishes.

Adapting for Production#

1. POSTGRES_PASSWORD in the postgresql service
2. Database password in initdb.sql
3. DSN in both kratos and kratos-migrate services
4. Remove --dev flag from the kratos command
