OAuth with Google - Mobile-redirect error
I'm following this youtube video on setup and got to the end and getting an error around the mobile redirect url
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu8WFh1ns4c&t=156s
As per image I have set the mobile redirect url in Cloudflare and within Immich
I get the portal with the cloudflare doamin url and option to oauth but then get this redirect url error
Unsure how to resolve - I have tried the local IP with the redirect url and get an errro saying the address wasn't understood

Self Hosting Immich (G-Photos Replacement) is getting SLICK
In this video, I demonstrate how to set up Immich from scratch on a linux server, set up a cloudflare tunnel to expose the application to the web, and set up OAuth using CloudFlare Zero Trust and Google OAuth.

We see that YouTube tutorials are often outdated or wrong. Have you looked at our oauth docs as well?
I don't believe it's outdated the video was uploaded only a month ago
https://immich.app/docs/administration/oauth/ - I've read through the doco here and it's got a different config for the redirect url but I'm not sure how it's meant to be implemented.
But it seems I'm missing app.immich:///oauth-callback
But when trying to add into Cloudflare or immich it's obviously not a valid URL
It's a valid URL but some providers don't like that, which is why there's the redirect alternative
When you get those errors in your browser, what's the URL it's actually trying to send you to?
https://MYDOMAIN.cloudflareaccess.com/cdn-cgi/access/sso/oidc/c0b16e75686f4f1c4f0b01547c13bdf1f38a5f244359f66096540a171dac44f5/authorization?client_id=c0b16e75686f4f1c4f0b01547c13bdf1f38a5f244359f66096540a171dac44f5&scope=openid%20email%20profile&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fimmich.MYDOMAIN.com%2Fauth%2Flogin&state=g-yYFDiodwbhz_xXrDspD5zQb5XMdpUB_9jVJb6BUf8
I think it's the google redirect urls I need to add
I've updated google web app and added url 2-3-4, 5 is thinking it's a dupe and or not a url

Just to clarify; Do you have a cloudflare authentication page in front of Immich, so before you get to Immich's own login page?
Nope - it just loads the immich login page with oauth as the only option
And you have both google and cloudflare involved in the oauth?
I don't entirely understand the setup here
Yea same - but cloudflare sends the traffic to google oauth and the redirect urls need to be in cloudflare, google and immich
Maybe I'm just not familiar with how cloudflare does oauth but that sounds strange to me
FWIW my set up has been working for weeks, but this morning after an update I am experiencing similar login issues with no other changes
Getting the same url redirect errors on oauth login?
Yes, very similar. But I am also having another issue where the
immich_server
container is restarting constantly so it might be related to that issue
To give an update, I ended up restoring a previous database from a few days ago and the issue resolved. In my case, the OAuth issue seemed to have been related to a corrupt database
