Sign in and subscription buttons do not function

[tigerkzr]

I spun up a Ghost instance with :latest but the "sign in" and "subscribe" buttons are not functional. Clicking them has no effect. The search button does bring up the search bar and the "home" "about" and article links work.

Environment:

Ubuntu Server 23.04
Docker 24.0.5
image ghost:latest
traefik reverse proxy
mariadb mysql server

• have tried on the latest Chrome and Safari.
• have tried before and after configuring user in admin console (http://url/ghost)
• have tried both behind reverse proxy and direct host(hostip:hostport)

Of note: On first visit from a browser (ie clean cache) I receive this error:

Unknown Request error.

here are the configuration setting I have setup with env vars:

I am at a loss to where else to look to troubleshoot this, any help or advice is appreciated.

I have had this issue before. Your URL http://ghost.example.net needs to point to your custom url. Also consider replacing http with https if you use SSL like Lets Encrypt

I am facing the exact same issue. You are running 5.60 with the latest tag. And not with the alpine, yes?

[tigerkzr]

URL IS pointing at my custom. I edited the above for anonymity. Using http because traefik is handling the SSL including redirect to https and my backend is all in the clear.

I am NOT using the alpine image. Just ghost:latest.

I was able to fix it for myself. I am operating my website from multiple domains.

I had a block rule on my firewall for /blog/api on the main domain I'm hosting ghost.

@tigerkzr Check if the same thing is being blocked for you.

My fix was just to allow this endpoint in my WAF.

So LOL. I changed my custom url to https even tough ghost isn't handling the ssl and it works. Thanks for the advice everyone.

To any ghost devs who've scrolled this far. You can safely close this issue. Your product is the "💣" :)
