Should I use authentik with or without nginx proxy manager? (lemm.ee)

I am a bit lost as to how you use authentik to do single sign on.

I can connect things that have external access quite easily using the reverse proxy provider that's built into authentik. I am struggling with how I would connect things that are on a docker network and can't be accessed directly. Normally with nginx proxy manager I would put it on the same network, but I don't think this is correct for authentik. Am I supposed to create a docker outpost?

Other people are using authentik + nginx proxy manager and I am a bit lost why they are doing that.

Either try to work out how to pass headers through to get around the service login or give up and find another app. On some services, the service auto logs onto one account so anybody who gets through Authentik sees the same stuff which is fine. I definitely don't have two levels of login!

I should say I use Plex's and vaultwarden's own login systems.
