Cannot create new users

[davidgs]

Description

I'm self-hosting at https://dgs.st/ (I am reverse-proxying that to the app) and whenever I attempt to create a new user, I get:

[Nest] 1433835  - 01/01/2024, 6:08:09 PM   ERROR [ExceptionsHandler] Request failed with status code 401
AxiosError: Request failed with status code 401
    at settle (/srv/reduced.to/node_modules/axios/lib/core/settle.js:19:12)
    at IncomingMessage.handleStreamEnd (/srv/reduced.to/node_modules/axios/lib/adapters/http.js:585:11)

    at endReadableNT (node:internal/streams/readable:1696:12)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:82:21)

The docs are really light on what I need to do regarding most of the config options (Do I need Redis in order to create accounts? etc.) so I'm unsure how to track this down.

@davidgs hey!

First, I am so happy to see you are self hosting!

Make sure you change the following configuration to use docker network and not localhost, there are comments above them.

API_DOMAIN DATABASE_URL

In addition, make sure you are using the real domain name under: CLIENTSIDE_API_DOMAIN

p.s, make sure you rebuild the frontend image and not using the official 'reduced.to' image. This is crucial in-order to change the frontend variables (they are being assigned in build time)

If you still encounter errors, I will be more than happy to assist you in Discord. You can give me your discord and I will add you.

Have a great day!

I'm not using Docker to deploy. I'm just deploying straight from the code.

I guess if I'm behind a proxy, I will have to proxy port 3000? I need it all to run over TLS, and I'd also like to limit account creation so not just anyone can use my shortener!

My Discord handle is davidgs

Thanks!

Added you on Discord.

Atm we don't have limitation on user creation as it's not planned, you would have to implement it by yourself.

I never got a discord invite. you could email it to me at davidgs@davidgs.com maybe?
