The correct config for Authentik & NGINX Proxy Manager 2-7-2025

gistfile1.txt

Couple Of TIP:

** Im running Authentik in docker and running other containers in docker. NGINX PROXY MANAGER is also in the same docker. 

1. Delete your default outpost and restart Authentik. It will recreate it.
2. Set ip up, add your applications and then edit the advanced and add your domain or auth.domain.com for where your authentik is installed.
3. Restart
It will work now
4. Every time you add a new one. Restart authentik.

# Increase buffer size for large headers
proxy_buffers 8 16k;
proxy_buffer_size 32k;

# Make sure not to redirect traffic to a port 4443
port_in_redirect off;

I'm getting this error. Any ideas why?

Hello! It looks like something in your npm settings is wrong, What are you trying to forward to? Is it HASS by chance?
