Description

I've installed Authentik Work and Authentik on Unraid following this video “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-pbzAaYMq4&t=122s&pp=ugMICgJwdBABGAHKBRBhdXRoZW50aWsgdW5yYWlk” but I'm still getting an error.

When I start Authentik I get this message “failed to connect to authentik backend: authentik starting”
I am using latest version both Authetik.
I have configured the databases correctly.
