I’m looking to setup Authentikibut I can’t for the life of me get the postgresql container working. I’m gettingconnectionn refused.
I’ve followed the docentation, watched several videos of people who have done the exact same thing as me but its not working. The compose file is the same file from the documentation.
I’m running it on an lxc in proxmox but I’ve also tried a VM with the same result. Any ideas or assistance?
This is in preperation for netbird and I’ve also tried the netbird all in one docker script that uses Zitadel but again that fails as well. The zdb container fails with connection failed to server 172.20.0.2 ( docker IP). I need to have it connect to the host.
Here is the compose file I’m using:
