Running SMTP notifications AND authenticating?

[petarlaf]

I'm trying to run this in a docker environment - with enabled SMTP notifications that will remind me when auth has expired.

However, if I create the container with --smtp-username and --smtp-password, and run it, it automatically goes to:

2024-08-10 21:06:26 DEBUG Authenticating...
2024-08-10 21:06:28 INFO Sending 'two-step expired' notification via email...

And shuts down. Without asking me for Apple Auth.

If I create the container without smtp, it asks me for authentication, and works fine. But then if I try to change the command to add SMTP, I have to recreate the container basically => same issue where it starts sending me emails (as auth has been lost in recreation).

How can I do both?

smtp notification terminates the program. That is the behavior that made sense when program is ran manually (you got email and run it again). Logic needs to be updated to support continuously running icloudpd. See icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_downloader#898
