Hello everyone! In the process of making our app more robust I just created a git repo containing our configuration yamls of Ory so that we can version control CI/CD the configuration. In this context I noticed that I can’t do this with e.g. email templates (and maybe other things I’m not yet aware of). For email templates, I tried to use a different URL that the ones generated by Ory Console (
<http://storage.googleapis.com|storage.googleapis.com>
), but put the templates on our own servers instead. Applying this config gives me:
Copy code
URL `https://$OUR_DEV_HOST` is not allowed for `courier.templates.recovery.invalid.email.body.html`
where obviously 
$OUR_DEV_HOST
is a real resolvable domain name. I’d really like (mid-term) to have everything related to configuring Ory under version control and CI/CD’ed so it can be part of the normal devs develop/review/deploy (/roll-back) workflow. So far this seems not possible with Ory. Am I right here? Are you people working on something that makes it possible?

to ensure that the templates are always available, we only allow setting them using 
base64
URLs
what you should do in your case is to download the templates from your server, base64-encode them, and then push the config change
this is valid basically for all URLs btw

Hi @steep-lamp-91158 thank you for the quick response, but I fear I don’t get it 🙂. The email templates currently referenced in the identity configuration are e.g. ``https://storage.googleapis.com/bac-gcs-production/<some-seemingly-base64-name>.html` .
The content of this URL is not base64-encoded but the plain text we uploaded via Ory Console.
It seems to me (taking the error message into account) that 
<http://storage.googleapis.com|storage.googleapis.com>
or even 
<http://storage.googleapis.com/bac-gcs-production|storage.googleapis.com/bac-gcs-production>
is a whitelisted hostname in the template engine config (but this is just a wild guess). I don’t see how this is related to encoding?
The config value I’m referring to btw is 
courier.templates.recovery.invalid.email.body.html
and siblings and similar.
But, speaking more generally, the same question similarly applies to other references in the Ory configuration files, e.g. the ones referenced in the identity schemata.

Sorry for the confusion. As a user, you are only allowed to upload the content itself (through a base64 URL). We then write the file to our GCS bucket. In the export, you get the GCS bucket URL because we don't want to download all files on our side to base64 encode them again. What the console does is also submit the file as base64.
So to do automatic CICD config updates, you need to submit the file as base64. You can either use a file from your repo, or if it is stored remotely, first fetch it from there, and then include it as a base64 URL.

Thanks @steep-lamp-91158, I believe I’m almost there in understanding what you mean 🙂. I’m unfamiliar with the term “base64 URL” though, could you elaborate? Do you maybe have an example how to
upload the content itself (through a base64 URL)
s
the URL scheme is 
base64
, and the URL host is the base64 encoded string
so e.g. 
<base64://aGVsbG8>
for the string

@gentle-bird-90474 FYI we're self-hosting Kratos, but the following config is perfectly fine on our end:
Copy code
templates:
        verification:
          valid:
            email:
              body:
                html: <https://static.gameflow.tv/email-templates/verification.html.gotmpl>
                plaintext: <https://static.gameflow.tv/email-templates/verification.txt.gotmpl>

the files are hosted in a gcs bucket

Thank you @steep-lamp-91158, I finally got it (working) 😄.
s
nice, I hope it did not take 1 week of work 😅
g
No no don’t worry 😄.
