Using traefik myself and having a domain name and reverse proxy will cause multiple login windows (using traefik basic auth). If not logging in twice, the socket disconnects.

I've tried multiple options of parsing headers in traefik. I think socket connection needs to be changed in order to pass headers from traefik auth to the socket.

I have the same issue using NPM. it's really only an issue with trying to do set refreshes.

I am facing the same issue, have you found an solution or the cause of the issue ?
I have set the debug to true but I don't see much more problem.

My solution until the issue is resolved is to just do set refreshes directly/locally - w/o reverse proxy

Make sure Websockets Support is enabled. I use NPM and it works fine with that enabled

At least for me, it's enabled. Things don't really work at all if it's disabled.

scratch that, it looked like it was but it was just delayed in displaying the socket disconnect message

After investigating this further, I believe the root cause is basic auth not being properly passed to WebSocket connections on iOS.

I switched my authentication from basic auth to Authelia and the issue is completely resolved. I would suggest to use a session/cookie-based authentication solution (Authelia, Authentik, OAuth proxy, etc.) instead of basic auth when running behind a reverse proxy.

Closing this for now, feel free to reopen if the issue still arise with another auth method.
