I’ve been trying to create a gitlab account, however gitlab refuses my email address:
1 error prohibited this user from being saved:
Email is not allowed for sign-up. Please use your regular email address. Check with your administrator.
I found this forum thread on the topic: I can't create a GitLab account
I self-host my email on a *.de domain and I believe the domain filter is set too strictly. I do not wish to use an alternative email account. Allowing only account creation with something like (I am taking wild guesses at the whitelist here) a gmail/hotmail freemail account from one of the big providers leaves a bad taste in my mouth coming from /e/OS. I also haven’t had any other site on the entire web refuse my email address.
I would appreciate if you could relax the domain restriction on gitlab account creation or find some better solution (a hint in the error message, perhaps?) that doesn’t discourage people from contributing to /e/OS. This is the second time I am trying to create an account and I only found out I have to send an email because I am now writing this post and was referred to the other thread by discourse.
Thanks in advance.
