Hi,  
this is my invidious traefik stack.

```auto
services:

  inv_sig_helper:

    networks:

    volumes:
      - postgresdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
      - ./config/sql:/config/sql
      - ./docker/init-invidious-db.sh:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init-invidious-db.sh
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: invidious
      POSTGRES_USER: kemal
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: kemal
    healthcheck:

volumes:

networks:
  proxy:
    external: true
  invidious:
    internal: true

```

This works and i can access the invidious instance via [https://invidious.example.com](https://invidious.example.com)

As soon as i uncomment the line

`# signature_server: inv_sig_helper:12999`

the browser shows 'Bad Gateway' when accessing the site.

Any ideas?

If it's about `inv_sig_helper`, it seems more like an application issue, not necessarily Traefik related.

If you think it’s Traefik related, you should have shared your full Traefik static and dynamic config.

Note that "Bad Gateway" usually happens when a target service has multiple network, which are not all shared with Traefik, and you have not set `docker.network` in static or dynamic config.

Yeah, i had that in mind as well, but tried posting here anyway, maybe somebody has had the same problem, because looking at the invidious github issues nobody seems to have an issue with the `inv_sig_helper` container, but nobody seems to use traefik either.

I have many stacks running behind the same traefik instance and its all running smoothly, so i doubt its a general traefik issue, more a specific issue running this invidious stack behind traefik.

The `invidious` container logs show, that it successfully found the `inv_sig_helper` container, so i guess that is working as intended.

No idea how to debug this.

Thanks for your reply.

apparently the inv\_sig\_helper container needs internet access as well so the working stack looks like this now.

```auto
