Have you made any changes to default docker-compose.yaml file? Have you checked in dashboard auth logs for the error msg
Also, are you using coolify or dokploy?
I'm writing Helm charts based on the default docker-compose and deploying them to Kubernetes. I haven't set up Logflare yet.
Can you make sql queries from dashboard?
It's done.

do you have any triggers on auth.users table?
Could this be the reason?
you can take a look at database > triggers


hmm this seems to be a network issue. I don't know about k8s but in docker-compose setup, this url https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/docker/docker-compose.yml#L42 should route to kong container. You need to make sure that this url points to your kong pod
The cause was that the studio side was still referencing kong:8000, even though Kong was running internally on port 8000 and had been converted to port 80 via the service.
Thanks for resolving it.
oh ok got it I haven't used k8s in a long time but I think you mean that you setup a service which listens on port 80 but routes to port 8000 for this kong pod
yes
You've mentioned that you're able to make sql queries but just in case you face any issues in the future because of any config changes:
You also need to make sure that this env https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/docker/docker-compose.yml#L34 url points to meta pod
Got it, thanks for the heads-up!
I’ll double-check the PG_META_URL to make sure it correctly points to the meta pod. Appreciate the tip!
