FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Post to email
Contact forms for static websites
Here's a solution for those with static websites wanting a contact form, but find themselves in a situation where they can't provide a script to support it (e.g. your platform doesn't allow you to host such script, or you simply don't know how)
This project provides a simple endpoint to submit your forms to, turning those form fields into an email to you.
All you need is:
- An SMTP server, for outgoing mails (e.g. Gmail or Outlook)
- A platform that supports deploying Docker containers (e.g. render)
- Your static website with a form, hosted anywhere
For your convenience, this project is wrapped into a Docker container that can easily be deployed on any Paas - some of which will allow you to deploy this for free. Read on!
Instructions
1. Deploy the container
Run the matthiasmullie/post-to-email Docker container in whatever configuration makes sense.
Below are detailed instructions to run this in a couple of different ways - pick whichever makes most sense for your use-case:
- Deploy it on a PaaS
- Run it with Docker
- Run it with Docker Compose
- Clone the repo and build it yourself
2. Build a simple form & submit it
Submit a POST request (with remaining variables - see configuration)
Check out this simple example to build a form that submits forms to the service we deployed in the first step.
And here's information about mitigating spam in case you were worried about that!
3. Receive email
You've got this! We're done here.
Configuration
Email configuration can be set globally on the server hosting this script (via environment variables), or per request on the client calling this (via POST or GET params)
If set, environment variables always get precedence over POST, which gets precedence over GET params.
This can be useful to lock down certain settings (e.g. RECIPIENT or DSN) within your hosting environment to prevent abuse.
Available params:
ALLOW_ORIGIN[ENV only]: allowed CORS domainDSN[ENV only]: DSN string for a transport (e.g. SMTP) to send emails withSENDER: sender email addressRECIPIENT: recipient email addressREPLY_TO(optional, defaults toSENDER): reply-to email addressSUBJECT(optional, defaults to "Form to email"): email subjectREDIRECT(optional, defaults to referrer): location to redirect back to after handing submission, or explicitly blank for no redirectHONEYPOT(optional, defaults to none): Name of a form field to use as unwanted (spam) submissions
