Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/RayLabsHQ/gitea-mirror/issues/116

I followed the exact steps below.

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/RayLabsHQ/gitea-mirror.git
cd gitea-mirror

# Start with simplified setup
docker compose -f docker-compose.alt.yml up -d

I even followed the guide in docker-compose.alt.yml and I even created .env and set the BETTER_AUTH_SECRET.

Docker compose worked fine, pull down the container, launched it, and I managed to create a new account and able to log in.

However, when I use another browser to log in, it says "Invalid origin". Obviously I know the email and password since I just created the account.

And then what's more interesting is that on the browser that I originally created the account, I can't sign out from clicking the top right button and select Logout. Nothing happens. I remain logged in.

As the result I cannot proceed to set up github and gitea since I cannot reliably log in and out of gitea-mirror. Can someone point out what I did wrong?

Looks like i figured it out. I ended up referring to #63 and added both BETTER_AUTH_URL and BETTER_AUTH_TRUSTED_ORIGINS to .env, and that fixed the problem.

I have updated the docker-compose.alt.yml to better solve this
