Can't activate yourls url shortener

[pinkfloydFR]

Describe the problem/question

Despite testing a lot of configuration can't have the urlshortener working.

Here is my configuration :

Traefik - >Authelia (with exclusion for url.pinkfloyd.best/yourls-api.php ) -> Privatebin docker & Yourls docker

If i test the url in a private tab (so unlogged from authelia) :
https://url.pinkfloyd.best/yourls-api.php?signature=xxxxxx&action=shorturl&format=json&url=http://test.com

I got :
{"status":"success","code":"","message":"http:\/\/test.com added to database","errorCode":"","statusCode":"200","url":

And i CAN see the short in yourls admin page.

But none of my configuration work in privatebin, (neither see the short button or shorten url ) ( or i am totally blind )

Here is my config :

urlshortener = "https://url.pinkfloyd.best/yourls-api.php?signature=xxxxxxxxx&action=shorturl&format=json&url="
;urlshortener = "${basepath}?shortenviayourls&link="
shortenbydefault = true


[yourls]
signature = "xxxxxxxxx"
apiurl = "https://url.pinkfloyd.best/yourls-api.php

(tested the 2 different format for 'urlshortener =', same result )

If you don't mind sharing the signature with the public, you can ignore the [yourls] section of the configuration. But if you want to use the PrivateBin server side Yourls proxy, you would instead configure urlshortener = "${basepath}?shortenviayourls&link=" and set the signature and URL as accessible by the PrivateBin service in the [yourls] section.

As you are mentioning Traefik, likely the internal service URL (the one you configured in Traefik as the backend serving url.pinkfloyd.best) is what you need to configure in the [yourls] section, not the public URL. Remember that the request in that case is sent from PrivateBin (the PHP backend) to Yourls, not by the visitors client.

What i had tested :

privatebin and yourls on the same netwrok

changed the configuration :

urlshortener = "${basepath}?shortenviayourls&link="
shortenbydefault = true

[yourls]
signature = "xxxxxx"
apiurl = "http://yourlsapp:8080/yourls-api.php"

But no more luck, no short button nor shortened url :( ( and nothing in the privatebin log)

Most of the URL shortener handling is community contributed and I personally don't use any so can't test these setups. I would expect there to be no shortener button if shortenbydefault is enabled. I'd check in the browser console and it's network tab, if it is trying to contact the shortenviayourls endpoint or not. If yes, then check the access logs (on Traefik) to see if it got blocked for some reason. If none of these change the behaviour, try changing the template or another setting that is immediately visible on the frontend, just to validate if the configuration file is actually used or not. It is a php file, so the php opcache may apply to it and if changed, a php-fpm restart may be needed for it to get applied.
