Troubleshooting

Note the lack of a trailing slash in some env vars like FRONTEND_URL. This is important. Always check the container and browser logs for more specific error messages

Authentication Issues (OIDC)

• Verify OPENID_CLIENT_ID, OPENID_CLIENT_SECRET, and OPENID_CONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT are correct.
• Ensure the FRONTEND_URL is accurate and that your OpenID provider has the correct redirect URI whitelisted ( e.g., http://your-frontend-url/api/v1/auth/cookie/Authentik/callback).
• Check backend logs for errors from httpx_oauth or fastapi-users.

CORS Errors

• Ensure FRONTEND_URL is correctly set.
• Ensure your frontend's url is listed in CORS_URLS.

Data Not Appearing / File Issues

• Verify that the volume mounts for IMAGE_DIRECTORY, TV_DIRECTORY, MOVIE_DIRECTORY, and TORRENT_DIRECTORY in your docker-compose.yaml are correctly pointing to your media folders on the host machine.
• Check file and directory permissions for the user running the Docker container (or the node user inside the containers).
