Allow setting hostname for redirectUri

Hey, when better-auth is deployed in a k8s cluster and it gets assigned an origin from ClusterDNS, it constructs a redirectUri like this: http://auth.auth.svc.cluster.local:3000/auth/callback/google I am able to just overwrite the redirectUri, but it would be cool if I could just set the origin of the server thats reachable from outside the cluster. The code change for this should be here I guess: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/blob/81ab90865f3e62f760e3d0b470a8ecbb3896e168/packages/better-auth/src/api/routes/callback.ts#L98...

Solution:

baseURL exists, whoops. Maybe this should be added to the production docs as a troubleshooting section

Some users are randomly signed out and can only sign in again after waiting for some hours

Hey! I am experiencing a weird behavior where some users are signed out of my app and need to wait hours to sign in again. I use phone number with OTP as the sign-in method. Their session token is not set to expire before several days. Has someone experienced something similar and found a fix for it?

Double password check

We're working on the "v2" of one of our apps and we're migrating from an old express with nothing more than a 'login' route to nextjs with better-auth. The actual users are saved with a sha256 and we don't want to keep that (ofc). Asking all of our users to reset their password is not really an option, so we were wondering if we could achieve something like keeping the old password in our database in a "old_password" column, when a user try to connect and if this column is not empty, we verify if the password is correct then, update the (scrypt) user password and unset the old_password. Do you have any idea on how I could do that ? One idea was in the "verify" function but only the hash is passed and not the email. Maybe a "before hook" ?...

Solution:

```ts hooks: { before: createAuthMiddleware(async ctx => { if (ctx.path !== '/sign-in/email') { return...

Social login bug

I am using social login (specifically Microsoft) and clicking login makes a POST request to /api/auth/sign-in/social then redirects me to http://localhost:3000/login (with just a ?) and then redirects me to http://localhost:3000/login and doesnt sign me in. If I spam click it, it eventually redirects me to the social provider but I have no idea why this is happening.

Backend Auth + Frontend Framework Tutorial

Looking for a good tutorial on how to use Better-Auth in an architecture where it's on a server (i.e. Express) at api.myapp.com And the frontend (i.e. next.js/react) at www.myapp.com does not have access to the database, it just calls the Better-Auth we setup on the above mentioned server, using a Better-Auth client. Feels like this should be well documented example in the docs, but I cannot find much about this architecture....
