Unable to access embedded outpost

I'm currently trying to setup application authentication for Nginx Proxy Manager. The configuration works, but anytime I try to hit /outpost.goauthentik.io/ping, authentik returns a 404, and I believe it's causing the proxy to fail. I have authentik deployed via the supplied docker compose through portainer as included.

Oauth2 authentication works fine, just the embedded outpost isn't available

Compose

Outpost config

This is also assigned to a docker integration for the local docker socket.

Did you ever resolve this? I've been banging my head against the keyboard trying to resolve what I believe is the same issue. This looks like the problem: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/issues/8956 and I don't see any resolutions.

EDIT: After much frustration I realized I didn't have my ingress-nginx marked as the default ingress class. Curious if there's a way to specify the ingress class name on the outpost, but I didn't see anything in my few minutes of looking. Once I made nginx the default it works fine.

Hmmm, I think I ended up getting this working by passing http://172.18.0.1:9000/outpost.goauthentik.io.
I haven't had to look at this in a few, but I'm using nginx proxy manager, and had to target the internal IP over http to get anything from the embedded outpost.

I hit it over the internal http port I think. I'll have to double check.
