Hello guys,
We are trying to implement an idea for a B2B services using a self hosted instance of Grist as both, main database for the operations, and dashboard for team members. We are also considering providing view-only access to customers in order for them to track the status of their orders (but this is secondary for now).
To do this, we have installed a self-hosted instance of Grist on a VPS using Ubuntu, Docker and Traefik. To provide different users access we are using Authentik (installed within the same server).
This part of the idea is currently working fine (although we haven’t arranged user groups & permissions yet).
Now, the first problem we found is that connection of our self-hosted Grist instance to our current Make.com’s workflows, could not be set using the default Grist module but “http request” ones. This could still be fine, but we haven’t been able to properly set the API access between our instance and Make.com yet, we are unsure whether this is Authentik blocking connections, some misconfiguration within Traefik, or Make.com being unable to connect on their side.
We wonder whether anyone has been able to arrange something like this. If so, we would appreciate it very much if you could share your experience on the matter.**

Building on the same issue, we were also considering moving eventually from Make.com to a self hosted instance of n8n, maybe inside of the same server or on a new one. However, it would seem n8n doesn’t provide a connection with self hosted Grist instances either, although we believe an http module could again do the trick.
Anyway, if anyone has succeed trying this out, we would value their insights very much too.
Regards,
Diego
