I want to add a comment that I hope you can see as being constructive since you mentioned in a previous video that English is not your first language and that you are sometimes concerned about your pronunciation or word choice. As an American who barely speaks a little bit of a couple of other languages, I have always appreciated when people helped guide me so hopefully I can do that this one time for you. The word realm is pronounced like helm. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@killua_148]

Hi, I don't know if it's just me or not, but I think you should explain what "frontend" and "backend" networks are. Because at the beginning (from you past videos) I thought they were some kind of docker built-in networks (due to having a very specific and standard name), but with time I realized that they are just two network you created. So maybe you should clarify what those networks are and why you use them the way you do. At least for beginners, it's not that obvious.

[@utentepassivo]

I very much agree with this. For beginners like me it can be very confusing

[@cristianku75]

The two networks are to keep separate the communication so that backend worker is isolated from the frontend meaning the outside world

[@cristianku75]

docker network create backend, docker create frontend . Just two different networks to keep the stuff separated and exposing just the frontend

[@ImARichard]

[@Voigt_Analytics]

Ziemlich cool. Danke für das tolle Video! Es fällt allerdings in die Kategorie: "Nice to have". Da (m)ein Home Lab dem ständigen Wandel unterlegen ist, weiß ich nicht, ob das für mich wirklich Sinn macht. Vieles an Software ist allenfalls ein paar Monate oder ein halbes Jahr an laufen, bis ich auf die Idee komme, Systeme wieder neu aufzusetzen, die Software neu einzurichten und dann muss ich trotzdem ein Passwort-Manager haben, der mir die Admin-User abgesichert. Es wird nur zusätzliche Arbeit verursacht durch die doppelte Nutzerverwaltung. Das hat sehr viel mehr Sinn in Unternehmensumgebungen, wo IT-Abteilungen auch von frustrierten Mitarbeitern besetzt sind, denen man im Fall des Falles immer auf die Finger schauen/klopfen muss. Oder um Mitarbeiter zentral zu verwalten, was wiederum durchweg Anwendungen voraussetzt, die die genannten Auth-Provider unterstützt. Und Authentik darf bloß nicht kompromittiert werden oder ausfallen. Dann wird's lustig

[@timothypierce4602]

Ay ay apoco si?

[@christianlempa]

Vielen Dank :) vielleicht macht es ja Sinn für System, die du nicht häufig änderst wie z.B. Proxmox?

[@Voigt_Analytics]

Versuche so stromsparend wie möglich mein Home Lab zu gestalten, daher kommen derzeit nur zwei Raspi‘s 400 und ein MacBook Air 2019 zur Anwendung. Das MBA für etwas performantere Aufgaben. Vielleicht wäre auch das Thema Energiemanagement, Shelly‘s, Grafana und Co was für die nächsten Videos? 😃👍

Just beware that if you run your Authentik in the VM inside the Proxmox server and you forget your Proxmox root password (because you will not be using it), you might get into trouble when the VM running the Authentik fails.

[@horstcredible4247]

Cool. How would I integrate this to an already existing web app? I did only find examples of integrating services like Portainer yet in the docs. There would be a protected area behind a subdomain of our top level domain, where customers have to be logged in. At the unprotected toplevel domain pages I need to be able to look up if a user is authenticated, so I could load additional information like wishlist articles and similar data if that's the case. We want to implement SSO, so we could use the same authentication for multiple apps we own. Any hint which part of the docs I could look at for this? Or any articles I could read up?

Awesome video , thank you!

Great Video. I've setup our instance to pull users in from an LDAP source but I then want those user to use a separate Oauth Source to do their SSO authentication.

@Christian - As always, great content! I'm posting this comment because this is my second time through trying to set this up and I'm running into an issue, specifically with setting up Proxmox authentication. I'm hoping maybe someone else has seen this and can help. I've been through the config per your video and the Authentik integration page several times and verified the config. However, when I attempt to login to Proxmox using the authentik realm, as soon as I click the Login (OpenID redirect) button, I get a popup error. It says OpenID redirect failed. Request failed (500). If I simply paste the Authentik auth URL into my browser, I get a JSON response, which suggests that I have it right on both sides. I'm unable to see any logs in the browser or in Proxomox or Authentik, that I can find suggesting an error that I might be able to look further into. I've see a few issues via a Google search, but the solutions don't seem to apply to me. In any case, any thoughts, direction, or help that you or your audience could provide would be greatly appreciated.
