Hello self hosters! I am hoping some of you wizards can help me troubleshoot my setup with authentik and traefik.

First about my setup. I have a synology nas that is running a docker compose stack. Synology is notoriously bad at keeping their docker version fresh, but hopefully that isn't relevant to this issue. I'm running traefik for reverse proxy, and authentik for auth. In authentik land I've split the outpost work into its own container, named authentikproxy. Any request to a service with the authentik-basic@file or authentik@file middleware labels applied should be routed through the authentikproxy service for auth. If it detects that one isn't authed, it will in turn send you to the authentik frontend for SSO.

The issue is that authentik randomly stops working for random routes, or randomly fails to start working for random routes. Every time this happens I need to restart my authentikproxy and traefik containers over and over until it randomly decides to work for all my routes. When this happens I am just sent straight to the app unauthenticated. I'll have to either input http basic credentials or use the app's login page, whichever it has. I have found nothing in the logs after months of this going on, neither authentik nor traefik seem to be aware that anything is amiss.

I suspect the issue is to do with the docker networks but that's honestly just a hunch.

My docker-compose file is hundreds of lines long, so I've stripped environment and volume info while preserving traefik labels to try to keep the info more or less concise. It is certainly still too much info but I did not want to accidentally delete something crucial. Here follows my setup.

Hello nerds! I'm hosting a lot of things on my home lab using docker compose. I have a private repo in GitHub for the config files. This is working fine for me, but every time I want to make a change I have to push the changes, then ssh to the lab, pull the changes, and run docker compose up. This is of course working fine, but I want to automate it. Does anyone have a similar setup and know of a good tool? I know I could use watchtower to update existing images, but this is more for if I change a setting or add a new service.

I've considered roughly four approaches.

1. A new container that mounts the whole running directory and the docker socket. It will register a webhook in GitHub to receive notifications when I push to the repo, run git pull and docker up. My worries here are the usual dind gotchas.

2. Same as 1, but don't mount anything, instead ssh from container to host and run the steps there. This solves any dind issues, but I don't love giving the container an ssh key to the host.

3. Have a service running on the host outside of docker. This is probably the correct approach, but very annoying since my host is a Synology nas and it doesn't have systemd or anything like that afaik.

4. Have a GitHub action ssh to the machine and do the steps. Honestly the easiest way but I would prefer to not open ssh to the internet.

Any feedback or tips are much appreciated. I don't feel like any of my options are very good and I feel like I am probably missing something obvious.

I have two ways to supposedly "clear read" posts when viewing a community, however doing so has no effect. I've got the app set up to hide read posts, so clearing read posts should let me see the ones that were previously hidden but that does not happen. My only way to see those posts now is to open the community in a web browser.
