To set a custom account recovery email template in Ory, you can follow these steps: 1. Encode your custom template to base64. You can use the following command:

bash echo "Your custom template" | base64

or use an online tool like https://www.base64encode.org/. 2. Add your Base64-encoded custom message templates to the config. Don't forget to add

base64://

before the encoded template. Here is an example of how to do it:

yaml courier:     smtp:       from_name: MyProject via Ory       templates:         recovery:           invalid:             email:               body:                 html: "<base64://ENCODED_HTML_TEMPLATE>"                 plaintext: "<base64://ENCODED_PLAINTEXT_TEMPLATE>"           valid:             email:               body: {}

3. Upload the edited config:

bash ory update identity-config <project-id> --file updated_config.yaml

In the Ory Network, you can use only Base64-encoded templates.

http://

or

file://

URIs are not supported. If you provide custom templates using unsupported methods, the system uses the default templates. For more details, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/emails-sms/custom-email-templates#using-custom-message-templates).

Your configuration seems correct, assuming that the base64 strings are valid and correctly encode your HTML and plaintext templates. Just make sure to replace the placeholders

<smtps://test:test@mailslurper:1025/?skip_ssl_verify=true>

and

<base64://...>

with your actual values. Also, ensure that your base64 encoded strings do not contain any line breaks, as they can cause issues. Here is how your configuration should look like:

yaml courier:   smtp:     connection_uri: <smtps://test:test@mailslurper:1025/?skip_ssl_verify=true>     from_name: MyProject via Ory   templates:     recovery:       invalid:         email:           body:             html: <base64://QWxsIHByYWlzZSBpcyBmb3IgQWxsYWgsIHBsZWFzZSB2ZXJpZnkgeW91ciBhY2NvdW50IGJ5IGNsaWNraW5nIHRoZSBmb2xsb3dpbmcgbGluazp7eyAuUmVjb3ZlcnlDb2RlIH19Cgo8YSBocmVmPSJ7eyAuUmVjb3ZlcnlDb2RlIH19Ij57eyAuUmVjb3ZlcnlDb2RlIH19PC9hPg>==             plaintext: <base64://SGksIHBsZWFzZSByZWNvdmVyIGFjY2VzcyB0byB5b3VyIGFjY291bnQgYnkgZW50ZXJpbmcgdGhlIGZvbGxvd2luZyBjb2RlOnt7LlJlY292ZXJ5Q29kZX19Cg>==       valid:         email:           body:             html: <base64://QWxsIHByYWlzZSBpcyBmb3IgQWxsYWgsIHBsZWFzZSByZWNvdmVyIGFjY2VzcyB0byB5b3VyIGFjY291bnQgYnkgZW50ZXJpbmcgdGhlIGZvbGxvd2luZyBjb2RlOnt7LlJlY292ZXJ5Q29kZX19Cgo8YSBocmVmPSJ7eyAuUmVjb3ZlcnlDb2RlIH19Ij57eyAuUmVjb3ZlcnlDb2RlIH19PC9hPg>==             plaintext: <base64://SGksIHBsZWFzZSByZWNvdmVyIGFjY2VzcyB0byB5b3VyIGFjY291bnQgYnkgZW50ZXJpbmcgdGhlIGZvbGxvd2luZyBjb2RlOnt7LlJlY292ZXJ5Q29kZX19Cg>==

For more details, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/emails-sms/custom-email-templates#using-custom-message-templates).

If you're not receiving the custom email as expected, there could be a few reasons: 1. SMTP Server Connection: Check your SMTP server connection details in the

connection_uri

field. Make sure the server is reachable and the credentials are correct. 2. Base64 Encoding: Ensure that your base64 encoded strings are correct and they decode to the expected HTML and plaintext templates. You can use online tools to verify your base64 encoding. 3. Email Delivery Issues: If the email's status is

Sent

, but it did not arrive, please check the spam folder or the logs of your custom SMTP server (if configured). You can view outgoing messages on the Monitoring → Email Delivery page in the [Ory Console](https://console.ory.sh/projects/current/email-delivery). 4. Configuration Update: Make sure you've updated the configuration correctly using the

ory update identity-config <project-id> --file updated_config.yaml

command. 5. Unsupported Methods: In the Ory Network, only Base64-encoded templates are supported.

http://

or

file://

URIs are not supported. If you provide custom templates using unsupported methods, the system uses the default templates. If you're still facing issues, you might want to refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/emails-sms/custom-email-templates#using-custom-message-templates) or seek help from the Ory community.

To find the project ID for your Ory project, you can use the

ory list projects

command. Here is how you can do it:

bash ory list projects

This command will list all available projects and their IDs. You can find the

project_id

in the output of this command. For more details, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/gitops#ory-identities-configuration).

It seems like you're trying to use the

ory

command but your system doesn't recognize it. This could be because the Ory CLI is not installed or not added to your system's PATH. To install the Ory CLI, you can follow these steps based on your operating system: For Linux:

bash bash <(curl <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ory/meta/master/install.sh>) -d -b . kratos <version-you-want> sudo mv ./kratos /usr/local/bin/ kratos help

For macOS:

bash brew install ory/tap/kratos kratos help

For Windows:

bash scoop bucket add ory <https://github.com/ory/scoop.git> scoop install kratos kratos help

Replace

<version-you-want>

with the version of Ory Kratos you want to install. After installation, you should be able to use the

ory

command. If you're still having issues, make sure that the Ory CLI binary is correctly added to your system's PATH. For more details, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/install).

You can use your base64 encoded HTML and plaintext strings in your Ory configuration file. Here's how you can do it: 1. Open your Ory configuration file (

identity-config.yaml

or

config.yml

). 2. Locate the

courier

section and then the

templates

subsection. 3. Under the

recovery

section, replace the

html

and

plaintext

fields under

invalid

and

valid

with your base64 encoded strings. Make sure to prepend the strings with

base64://

. Here's an example of how your configuration should look:

yaml courier:     smtp:       from_name: MyProject via Ory       templates:         recovery:           invalid:             email:               body:                 html: "<base64://QWxsIHByYWlzZSBpcyBmb3IgQWxsYWgsIHBsZWFzZSB2ZXJpZnkgeW91ciBhY2NvdW50IGJ5IGNsaWNraW5nIHRoZSBmb2xsb3dpbmcgbGluazp7eyAuUmVjb3ZlcnlDb2RlIH19Cgo8YSBocmVmPSJ7eyAuUmVjb3ZlcnlDb2RlIH19Ij57eyAuUmVjb3ZlcnlDb2RlIH19PC9hPg>=="                 plaintext: "<base64://SGksIHBsZWFzZSByZWNvdmVyIGFjY2VzcyB0byB5b3VyIGFjY291bnQgYnkgZW50ZXJpbmcgdGhlIGZvbGxvd2luZyBjb2RlOnt7LlJlY292ZXJ5Q29kZX19Cg>=="           valid:             email:               body: {}

4. Save the configuration file. 5. Upload the edited config using the Ory CLI:

bash ory update identity-config <project-id> --file identity-config.yaml

Replace

<project-id>

with your actual project ID. For more details, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/emails-sms/custom-email-templates#using-custom-message-templates).

To find your project ID, you can use the Ory CLI with the

list projects

command. Here's how you can do it:

bash ory list projects

This command will list all your projects along with their details, including the project ID. For more details, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/cli/cli-basics#create-a-project).

It seems like you're trying to use the

ory
