Guides

Practical explanations for common setup and deployment questions.

The Guides section focuses on practical questions that often come up while setting up and running Tzylo Auth CE.

These guides are not API references. Instead, they explain whycertain things behave the way they do and how to configure your environment correctly.

Why these guides exist

Authentication systems often fail due to environment and infrastructure misunderstandings rather than code issues.

Common examples include:

SMTP credentials not working as expected
Docker containers failing to reach databases
Confusion around localhost and container networking
Unclear Redis setup or purpose

These guides exist to address those questions directly and clearly.

When should you read these guides?

You should read the Guides if:

Something works locally but fails in Docker
Email or OTP flows are not behaving as expected
You are unsure how to connect Auth CE to your database
You want to understand Redis usage before enabling it

How to use these guides

Each guide is designed to be read independently.

You do not need to read them in order. Jump directly to the topic that matches your current problem.

If something feels confusing, it is likely a common issue. The guides are written with that assumption in mind.

Documentation is evolving

These guides will evolve as Tzylo Auth CE matures and real-world usage highlights new questions and edge cases.

If you encounter something unclear or incorrect, consider opening an issue so the guide can be improved.
