It seems i have several Problems selfhosting. I have a VM running Portainer, NGNIX and Penpot. Since last Updates i have several Problems. The main problem i adressed in a different post is that OIDC is not working. Now i discovered that the configuration is handled differently, depending on where im opening the penpot frontend. the flags: > x-flags: &penpot-flags > PENPOT\_FLAGS: enable-prepl-server enable-smtp enable-login-with-oidc enable-oidc-registration disable-registration disable-login disable-login-with-password enable-secure-session-cookies when i open penpot directly (IP:9001), the config is working and i only see the OIDC Field. After ngnix so using an url, redirecting inside ngnix to IP:9001 ignores the flags and shows me the all login fields. do i have to configure something specific in penpot to make it work with ngnix? im trying to find the problems step by step and eliminate them - maybe that will also solve my OIDC cert problem. ---
