✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

Alpine-Tinyauth

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/alpine-tinyauth.sh)"

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Alpine

📈 Which Proxmox version are you on?

pve-manager/9.0.10/deb1ca707ec72a89 (running kernel: 6.14.11-3-pve)

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Tinyauth installed within an Alpine LXC container will install and run allowing access via both IP Address and configured AppURL.

However the default login details supplied in the credentials.txt file do not work to login to Tinyauth and manually adding a user:hash to the .env file or running the Create User CLI command do not allow login from the application.

Running ./Tinyauth directly in console returns FTL ../../home/runner/work/tinyauth/tinyauth/cmd/root.go:109 > Invalid config error="Key: 'Config.AppURL' Error:Field validation for 'AppURL' failed on the 'required' tag"

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

  1. Install Tinyauth from Community Scripts.
  2. cat /opt/tinyauth/credentials.txt
  3. Navigate to https://tinyauth.own.domain.com
  4. Enter details and login - Failed to login box.

@tremor021 are versions handled in any way with community scripts? Because apart from this issue, it seems like Tinyauth was automatically bumped to v4 without following the migration procedure. As for this specific install, @abigpizzapie what's the output of journalctl -eu tinyauth?

@steveiliop56 the only thing i added is DATABASE_PATH env var because it throws a error if started without it. Everything else i think is the same as you wrote it.

I assume both install and update scripts will need to be revisited

@tremor021 if I have some free time I will make a pull request that doesn't "yolo" Tinyauth versions. Probably a separate issue though.

@sepl2604 commented on GitHub (Oct 12, 2025):

I currently have the same issue, tried to setup tinyauth yesterday for the first time. Not sure if one could call this the fix, but with some hints coming from some AI chatting, I ended up with wrapping the USERS value in single quotes like this

USERS='tinyauth:$$2y$$05$$0FFMPsAlaFw2ScOLJXJiDu9.xq9zPHHYA3oxxgrBvvRz.i.zkhAkq'

Now I can login without any issues with the default creds.

I am guessing that the issue is here f0fa24e1a5/install/alpine-tinyauth-install.sh (L51) In docker environment variables, we have to escape the dollar sign with double dollar sings, so $$. But $$ translates to the PID of the process in bash which of course breaks the bcrypt hash. @tremor021 we can either replace the sed command with s/\$/\\$/g which will escape the bcrypt hash with a backslash or enclose it in quotes.

Just tested myself what @sepl2604 did to get it to work, just adding the single quotes to either end of the users string didn't fix the issue for me.
However adding the quotes, removing one of the $ signs and rehashing the password in BCrypt and pasting it into the .env fixed the issue.

I've also tested adding a whole new user following the above and it now works as expected.
