Bug: Plaid Integration error on self hosting. Error 400. Fresh install. "error_code": "INVALID_FIELD", "error_message": "redirect_uri must use HTTPS"

[AkifManzoor124]

Where did this bug occur? (required)

• I am a self-hosted user reporting a bug from my self hosted app
• I am a user of Maybe's paid app

Please note, if you are reporting a bug with sensitive data, please open an Intercom chat from within the app for help

Describe the bug
I ran a fresh config of the maybe app using the mac os guide for self hosting. Followed the steps exactly, and was able to get Maybe running. In hopes of having Plaid integration, I setup the PLAID_CLIENT_ID, PLAID_SECRET and PLAID_ENV.
PLAID_ENV=production

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'New Account'
2. Click on 'Depository'
3. See error

Expected behavior
I expect to see the option for connecting with Plaid

Screenshots / Recordings
If applicable, add screenshots or short video recordings to help show the bug in more detail.

The error message says that "the redirect_uri must use https"

So I guess there was some kind of field where you put the uri for your maybe instance. This has the be https instead of http.
Bringing with it that where you host has to be accessible by https.

Still I think maybe should catch and display those errors prettier. On the hosted version they should be catched by sentry anyway, shouldn't they?

I'm learning that Plaid integration with self hosting is not part of scope.

Seems the only way to do this is with the paid production plan with Plaid.
#1695

Agreement on prettier error messages, and caught on Sentry.

Hey @AkifManzoor124, we're not officially supporting Plaid for self hosted instances so I'm going to move this over to discussions as that's the more relevant spot to discuss.

You'll need to sign up and apply for production access on Plaid. Currently, there are 3 products you need: transactions, investments, and liabilities (code here). It's also paid after 200 requests, I chose the pay-as-you-go model. You'll need to set redirect_uri on Plaid's dashboard once you're approved: Developers -> API -> Allowed redirect URIs -> Set the uri to https://<maybe instance url>/accounts

Additionally, if you're using docker, you might need to edit your compose file to include the environment variables if it doesn't work:

environment:
      # ...
      PLAID_CLIENT_ID: ${PLAID_CLIENT_ID}
      PLAID_SECRET: ${PLAID_SECRET}
      PLAID_ENV: ${PLAID_ENV}
