The Problem

Self-hosted service enthusiasts struggle with Docker configuration complexity, particularly around authentication flows, service-to-service integrations, and volume mounting. Documentation gaps leave users unable to diagnose why services fail to connect or sync properly, even when following setup guides. Newcomers especially face steep learning curves with OAuth, 2FA integrations, and API connectivity between containerized services.

Potential Solution

An intelligent Docker debugging tool that validates configurations, checks common failure points (auth tokens, volume paths, API endpoints), and provides step-by-step remediation guidance. The tool would scan docker-compose files, test connectivity between services, verify authentication credentials are properly mounted, and suggest specific fixes based on a curated database of working configurations for popular self-hosted applications. Interactive setup wizards guide users through complex integrations like OAuth and 2FA.

Why Now?

The self-hosted movement is exploding as users seek alternatives to cloud services, but Docker's complexity creates a significant adoption barrier. Recent privacy concerns and subscription fatigue are driving more non-technical users to self-hosting, creating demand for tools that simplify the technical hurdles.

Garmin Withings scale sync with 2FA active

Hey guys, Has anyone managed to get this script: [github.com/.../withings-sync](github.com/.../withings-sync) going with 2FA active via docker-compose? As my watch forces me to use 2FA because of the ECG functionality, I am struggling a bit with setting up this service. I already have the garmin grafana dashboard running with OAUTH and have tried to refer the docker compose to the save folder of the garmin tokens inside the garmin grafana stack. I have changed the credentials inside the docker-compose to: GARMIN\_SESSION=/home/withings-sync/.garminconnect and removed GARMIN\_USERNAME and GARMIN\_PASSWORD. This seems to work somehow, but I always run into: "- INFO - No Garmin data selected - skipping sync" when running the script. Has anyone managed to solve this? I am really new to selfhosting and only have some weeks of experience with no professional background. So please be kind to me if this question is stupid ;-)
