Description

Using docker compose installation I updated the Vikunja and started to get this error in container when I try to log in.

You need to migrate your config to the new format. It seems like you upgraded to the newest RC which requires that.

Check out the docs about this: https://vikunja.io/docs/openid/#step-2-configure-vikunja

Well, it only works when using the "unstable syntax", as the other syntax has been dropped.

auth:
  openid:
    enabled: true
    providers:
       <provider-id>:
          name: <provider-name>
          authurl: <auth-url>  <----- Used for OIDC Discovery, usually the issuer
          clientid: <vikunja client-id>
          clientsecret: <vikunja client-secret>
          scope: openid profile email
          forceuserinfo: false # Optional: Set to true to always use UserInfo endpoint instead of ID token claims, defaults to false

Supporting the "stable syntax" is set not will-not-fix, as discussed in https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/issues/1533 and documentation still needs to be updated.

Struggled with this for hours because the documentation still isn't updated over a month later!

Yup, that's why I put the syntax in this issue, so others could find it more easily. I had the same frustration...

You can also find it at https://vikunja.io/docs/openid/ by searching for "Unstable syntax:"

Thank you for doing so. Worked first time when using the unstable syntax.. Docs really need an update in the authentik section.

This was almost comically confusing to get working, but thanks to some of the hints here it finally worked.

I had to remove the strict redirect on authentiks end to get this to work for some reason, plus use the "unstable" syntax (which is the only syntax that works!)
