Addresses review findings — all reverting to the live config that worked:
- config.yml mounts at /app/vikunja/config.yml (live path), not /etc/vikunja.
- Remove the vikunja container healthcheck: the image ships no wget/curl, so
an in-container HTTP check is always unhealthy. Health stays on db
(pg_isready) + host-side healthcheck.sh (curl). Live had no app healthcheck.
- Secrets injected exclusively via env_file (.env) on BOTH services; dropped
the ${VAR:?} parse-time interpolation that depended on a .env in cwd. db now
also has env_file. Non-secret env stays inline.
- Rename .env.example -> env.example to match repo convention (forgejo).
Verified: `docker compose -f services/vikunja/docker-compose.yml config` passes;
services/vikunja/.env is gitignored.

Vikunja
Self-hosted task management. Runs on the PIHA node with a dedicated
PostgreSQL backend, exposed publicly at https://vikunja.okit.pl via the npm
reverse proxy on PIHA. Login is via Forgejo OIDC.

Data (do not move)
Persistent state lives in pre-existing Docker named volumes — these are pinned by name so the live data survives cutover:
vikunja_vikunja_db→/var/lib/postgresql/datavikunja_vikunja_files→/app/vikunja/files
Configuration
config.yml— committed, secret-free. Holds OIDC provider metadata..env— gitignored. Copy fromenv.exampleand fill with the real live values (must be identical to the running instance):POSTGRES_PASSWORD/VIKUNJA_DATABASE_PASSWORD(same value)VIKUNJA_SERVICE_JWTSECRETVIKUNJA_AUTH_OPENID_PROVIDERS_FORGEJO_CLIENTSECRET
Notes
forgejo.okit.plis pinned viaextra_hoststo192.168.31.5(npm on PIHA) so OIDC discovery resolves over the LAN, avoiding flaky public DNS.- Both
redirecturland the providerauthurlMUST keep their trailing slash — theauthurlmust match the OIDC issuer exactly or discovery fails.
Cutover checklist
git pullon PIHA.- Create
services/vikunja/.envfromenv.examplewith the real values. - Confirm the named volumes exist:
docker volume ls | grep vikunja_vikunja. docker compose -f services/vikunja/docker-compose.yml up -d.- Verify:
./healthcheck.shand a test OIDC login.
