How to Set Up Proxmox Email Notifications with Gmail (Web Interface Tutorial)

In the video "Setting Up Proxmox to Use Gmail for Notification Using the Web Interface," the tutorial demonstrates how to configure Proxmox VE to send email notifications using Gmail SMTP settings.It walks through accessing the Proxmox web GUI, navigating to Datacenter Notifications, and setting up a Gmail SMTP relay with proper TLS/SSL encryption, port configuration, and authentication using a Gmail App Password. Viewers learn how to create a new notification target, test SMTP email delivery, and troubleshoot common issues like authentication failure, port mismatch, or SPF/DKIM errors. This setup helps system admins stay informed via email alerts about backup jobs, node status, resource usage, or system errors, making Proxmox more reliable with real-time notifications directly from the web interface.

The backup notification only worked for me if I did one of these:

- Manually set "Notification mode:" to "Notification system".
- Leave "Notification mode:" on "Auto" and also leave the "Send email to:" field empty.

Thanks for the video.

Great video VE, sound/voice recording sounds a little wonky, might be microphone or mixer issue. But still great video thank you for sharing this :)!
