Configure smtp for Symfony at platform.sh

Platform.sh doesn't allow to edit neither parameters.yml nor any other file through SSH. How can I configure SMTP in order to send mails using Symfony application's SwiftMailer? This documentations says

In Symfony, if you use the default SwiftMailer service, we recommend the following settings in your app/config/parameters.yaml:

parameters:
     mailer_transport: sendmail
     mailer_host: null
     mailer_user: null
     mailer_password: null

But I work with existing application which was wrongly configured, I think. This is what I have in parameters.yml file now:

# This file is auto-generated during the composer install
parameters:
    database_host: 127.0.0.1
    database_port: null
    database_name: symfony
    database_user: root
    database_password: null
    mailer_transport: smtp
    mailer_host: null
    mailer_user: null
    mailer_password: null
    secret: ThisTokenIsNotSoSecretChangeIt

How can I solve this issue?

Solution

  • I figured out this issue with editing parameters.dist.yml file with the values I wanted to use. Platform.sh deployment systems doesn't asks me about the values to input inside parameters.yml file (which should be gitignored, as you may know), so write the values you want to have as a result, right in the parameters.dist.yml. That will not affect local version but will allow to change the content of the parameters.yml file.
