Describe the Bug

I have a brand new docker compose stack and i wanted to set up authentication via my authentik setup.
so far so good it worked great with user accounts that already existed.

But when i log in with a user that doesn't have a karakeep account i get an application error:

Application error: a server-side exception has occurred (see the server logs for more information).

Digest: 4237581454

The logs:

karakeep-web          | d [TRPCError]: User settings not found
karakeep-web          |     at /app/apps/web/.next/server/chunks/6815.js:1:41820
karakeep-web          |     at async X.h.middlewares (/app/apps/web/.next/server/chunks/269.js:4:46337)

karakeep-web          |     at async F (/app/apps/web/.next/server/chunks/269.js:7:68)

karakeep-web          |     at async /app/apps/web/.next/server/chunks/269.js:7:5476
karakeep-web          |     at async Promise.all (index 1) {
karakeep-web          |   cause: undefined,
karakeep-web          |   code: 'NOT_FOUND',
karakeep-web          |   digest: '4237581454'
karakeep-web          | }

the ui seems to indicate that the user was created after the login attempt and when first creating a user through karakeep UI and then linking it to oauth it works as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

set up a new karakeep instance
connect oauth
attempt to log in with oauth user that is not already created in karakeep

Expected Behaviour

login should work as expected without server side error

Screenshots or Additional Context

Device Details

No response

Exact Karakeep Version

0.25.0

This was broken by the introduction of the user setting table in 0.25 that doesn't get created when the user is created over oauth. As a workaround, create the user first via the ui and then link it via oauth. Will send a patch release for this bug when it's fixed properly in a couple of days.

Did you create the user by an admin account and via "Admin Settings" -> "User List" -> "Create user" ... or via "Sign Up" from the login page?

I tried the first (by User List) and receive the error 'OAuth login failed: OAuthAccountNotLinked'.

edit: Doesn't matter.. I receive the error in both ways ;-)

This still persists for me on the latest build. Mine is a new installation with no users.

EDIT:
I deleted the data dir, restarted and then it started working

This is still a problem, even after wiping all volumes and restarting it it's immediately broken.

Anyone who is still facing issues specially after a wipe, this is another issue I'm tracking. After you wipe your installation, make sure to clear the cookies and things will work. I'll push a fix soon.
