I've followed this guide:
https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting/configuration/version-control
to connect GitHub to my self-hosted Appwrite instance (1.8.0, running on Coolify).
The GitHub App installs successfully, but after the redirect back to Appwrite there's no active connection. One thing I noticed: the Setup URL in the GitHub App settings needs to point to the Appwrite homepage — leaving it empty prevented the redirect entirely.
The logs show the following:
