Authentik Docker Setup - Lemmy.ca

I’m looking to setup Authentikibut I can’t for the life of me get the postgresql container working. I’m gettingconnectionn refused. I’ve followed the docentation, watched several videos of people who have done the exact same thing as me but its not working. The compose file is the same file from the documentation. I’m running it on an lxc in proxmox but I’ve also tried a VM with the same result. Any ideas or assistance?

I too am running Authentik in an LXC and am using the default docker-compose.yml. Did you make sure to define your .env file correctly? Are you able to connect to the docker container itself after deployment? You may need to blow the DB volume away and try again because it will only provision on first run.

I definitely can’t connect to the container as it doesn’t start. I’ve also tried without the .env file and that doesn’t work either. I’ve even setup a new LXC and started from scratch with the same result.
