The environment variable POSTGRES_USER cannot be changed. The SQL config files that run the initial database migrations are hard-coded with the username kemal.

Same goes with environment variable port . Stick to 3000:3000 and change other service port if needed.

Detailed post-install configuration available in the configuration guide.

Because of various issues Invidious must be restarted often, at least once a day, ideally every hours.

If you use a reverse proxy, you must configure invidious to properly serve request through it:

https_only: true : if your are serving your instance via https, set it to true
domain: domain.ext: if you are serving your instance via a domain name, set it here
external_port: 443: if your are serving your instance via https, set it to 443

Env variables must be put after INVIDIOUS_CONFIG: | in the compose file
