Error 405 when creating a user

Support
1

I tried setting up vikunja, but it doesn’t seem quite right. One thing I’m wondering about is whether I should use the same domain for the frontend and api, or not. If not, how should I point the frontend to the right API url?

I’m getting this error when trying to create a user, which probably suggests problems with the links
frontend -> api or api -> db
image

Here’s my composefile:

...

This looks like you did not expose the api via traefik as well. The browser accessing the frontend makes requests to the api so it needs to be accessible from the outside. Check out the traefik examples: Full docker example | Vikunja

3

Isn’t it exposed through this? It’s a line from the vikunja-api in the composefile.

4

It should be, yes. Can you access the api at DOMAIN/api/v1/info?

5

When I go to “/api/v1/info” I just get redirected to the login page “/login”

6

Then theapi is not properly exposed. Check the traefik logs for error messages, maybe compare your version with the example from the docs: Full docker example | Vikunja
