Self Hosted Auth
I seem to have hit a bit of an issue in my self hosted attempts. I have setup a docker based self hosted convex app with a nextjs app running. I followed the instructions to setup the convex auth through the manual setup steps and have configured my google provider accordingly. However, when I click on the button that calls the signin function, the call immediately fails because it tries to reach my nextjs /api/auth endpoint instead of the convex http action /api/auth endpoint. Any thoughts?

Thank you!
Where are you importing the
signIn function fromIts inside of a client component through the useAuthActions hook, I followed the manual setup directly from the docs
Sounds like you're passing your website's url (or localhost) to the Convex client instead of the convex site url
Check
.env.localwhen I click on the button that calls the signin function, the call immediately fails because it tries to reach my nextjs /api/auth endpoint instead of the convex http action /api/auth endpointWhen using Next.js, it's expected that your frontend hits the nextjs
/api/auth endpoints, but these should get proxied to your Convex deployment via middleware (https://labs.convex.dev/auth/setup#middleware, under "Set up the React provider" under the "Next.js" tab), so this sounds like it's doing the right thing so far.
Adding verbose logs to your middleware will probably give more information on what's happening (https://labs.convex.dev/auth/debugging#nextjs-middleware)Debugging - Convex Auth
