To Reproduce

Hi! So i've installed the Outline template.
I've set the Outline domain to knowledge.klikbit.nl and the dex domain to knowledge-dex.klikbit.nl.
Inside the advanced -> volumes tab i've edited the config.yml to:
issuer: https://knowledge-dex.klikbit.nl

    redirectURIs:
      - "https://knowledge.klikbit.nl/auth/oidc.callback"

and i've set the enviroment vars to:

URL=https://knowledge.klikbit.nl
DEX_URL=https://knowledge-dex.klikbit.nl
DOMAIN_NAME=knowledge.klikbit.nl

Then i redeployed Outline

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current behavour:

Bad Request

Unregistered redirect_uri ("https://knowledge.klikbit.nl/auth/oidc.callback").

Expected behavour:
Seeing Outline.

I also tried reloading the application. Seems like it doesn't want to get the changes in config.yml?

Provide environment information

OS: Ubuntu Server 24
Hosting: Hetzner
Dokploy: Version v0.28.2
Template: OutLine

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Docker Compose

Are you deploying the applications where Dokploy is installed or on a remote server?

Remote server

Additional context

No response

Will you send a PR to fix it?

No

Hi @HeapReaper! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the dokploy team.

The issue is that the Dex configuration in the Outline template is embedded directly in the template.toml file, not stored as a separate volume file. Editing config.yml in the volumes tab won't work because that config is dynamically generated from the template when deployed.

Looking at the template.toml, the Dex config uses template variables like ${main_domain} and ${dex_domain} which are substituted at deployment time.

To fix this, you have a few options:

Redeploy with correct variables - Make sure main_domain is set to knowledge.klikbit.nl and dex_domain is set to knowledge-dex.klikbit.nl when deploying the template.
Manually update the mounted config - The config is mounted from ../files/etc/dex/config.yaml:/etc/dex/config.yaml per the docker-compose.yml. You may need to find and edit the actual generated file in the Dokploy files directory, not through the volumes tab.
Restart the Dex container after making changes - Dex won't pick up config changes without a container restart.

Also note: the template defaults to http:// URLs, but you're using https://. Make sure your redirect URI scheme (https://) matches exactly in both the Dex config and Outline environment variables.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2026):

The issue is that Dex doesn't automatically reload configuration changes - you need to restart the Dex container after editing config.yaml.

Here's what's happening:

The Outline template defaults to HTTP for redirect URIs, but your domain uses HTTPS
Dex requires a container restart to pick up config changes - editing the file alone isn't enough

To fix this:

SSH into your server and locate the config file at:

<COMPOSE_PATH>/<your-compose-app-name>/files/etc/dex/config.yaml

Ensure the redirectURIs uses HTTPS (matching your actual domain):

redirectURIs:
  - "https://knowledge.klikbit.nl/auth/oidc.callback"

Restart the Dex container (not just Outline) - this is the key step. The config won't apply until Dex restarts.
Then restart Outline as well.

If you're editing via Dokploy's Advanced → Volumes tab, make sure you're restarting the Dex service specifically, not just redeploying Outline.
