I'm not sure what I'm missing but the server fails to spin up claiming that the postgres cannot be reached correctly.

I've verified that the password is correct, my strong guess is that the env variables are not honoured.

Thank you.

you can run ak dump_config in the container to see what config authentik interpreted

Works as intended, user (my) problem. Thanks @BeryJu
