Description

Hi,

I'm currently trying to setup a solid server instance on GCP. The installation went smooth and the solid installation was successful. However, when I try to access the endpoint /register I get a 401. I've enabled multiuser support and I'm using docker.

The output when starting the service:

The service is hosted under a custom domain. Maybe this has something to do with it?

I'm fairly new to the solid concept so if this is something obvious to fix please be kind 🙏

Thank you.

Research direction

Start with the /register request and the authentication log showing “Not allowed to access top-level APIs on accounts,” then review how the Docker deployment and custom domain are configured on GCP. Done means identifying why /register returns 401 and confirming that the registration endpoint works correctly for the reported setup.
