Comment on New to Authentik - Challenges with getting my first application working

I have self hosted for years using Authentik and have 50 + services. Postiz has been one of the most challenging to spin up and maintain. The documentation is not up to date, the software is constantly changing and I had to tweak lots to get it to work. Even now, it seems to crash after a few days and haven’t had the chance to investigate. All these posts I set up didn’t go through and now if I turn it back on, it’ll release them all in one go before I can get in to stop it, or have to revert to a fresh install…

The vast majority of services and not like this so don’t get disheartened! Try some other ones first them come back to this when more experienced. I recommend Bento PDF, ConvertX, outline wiki, vikunja and immich (if you have the storage space).

At first, try to stick to software on Authentik’s guides (integrations.goauthentik.io). Once you do a few OIDC and forward proxy services you’ll get the hang of it.

When I get a chance I’ll share my docker compose SSO settings and authentik redirect uri that worked for me with the caveat that the software crashes for some reason.

@brewery A specific question - Does your Authorise URL for Postiz return a 404 when you load it via a browser? Is it /application/o/authorize/ ? because that seems oddly non-specific for a specific application...

@brewery Oh cheers. Yeah I think I need to test setting up another app to confirm whether its Authentik or Postiz. The other app I am looking at is an open source core banking system so I think I'll leave that one for a while and as you suggest try something more straight forward.
I'm keen to get Postiz working because I belong to a sailing club and its a time vacuum posting updates all over the place.
I'm interested do you you anything for social listening - I'd like to pull together a few social feeds from Twitter, Instal, Facebook and provide them to the few of us that are working on keeping the club's profile up.
