I followed previous emails on this list which told me to set POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL in /opt/mailman/web/settings_local.py, but that doesn’t seem to make any difference.

After each change, I restarted mailman-web and mailman-core containers.)
How did you create the template? In Postorius or by manually creating a file somewhere? If by creating a file, POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL is not relevant, but ensure that the file is findable and readable by Mailman.
I created the template in Postorius.
From within mailman-web and mailman-core containers, I can reach “mailman-web:8000”.
In the webpage, I see: Mailman REST API not available. Please start Mailman core.
The REST APT is normally exposed on port 8001, not 8000 (See
portinmailman conf -s webservice.
Yes, it’s 8001:
[webservice] hostname: 172.19.199.2 [webservice] port: 8001
What is your setting for MAILMAN_REST_API_URL? does the port match?
I’m not overriding it:
./postorius/mailman-web/settings.py:MAILMAN_REST_API_URL = os.environ.get('MAILMAN_REST_URL', 'http://mailman-core:8001')
In /opt/mailman/core/var/logs/mailman.log, I get:
[17/Sep/2020:16:23:29 +0000] "GET /3.1/lists/xxx.example.com HTTP/1.1" 200 416 "-" "GNU Mailman REST client v3.3.1"
It appears you are connecting to the REST API, but ... ...
urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='mailman-web', port=8000): Read timed out. (read timeout=5)
Something appears to be trying to connect to REST on port 8000
Is this a red herring? Is something else wrong? Setting POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL in settings_local.py doesn’t seem to make any difference.
Having set the POSTORIUS_TEMPLATE_BASE_URL, I deleted the template and recreated it. Now, when I approve a pending subscription it goes through, but the welcome email is blank.
