On your own instance you register the VK application yourself and put its id in your environment.
1

Create an app in the VK developer portal

Sign in to VK and create an application in the developer portal. She uses the VK ID authorization flow, which runs against id.vk.com, and she asks for these scopes:
wall is the one that lets her post, and photos and video are what the uploads need.
2

Configure the OAuth2 Redirect URI

Your VK OAuth2 Redirect URI:
  • Production: https://postqueen.example.com/integrations/social/vk
  • Local development: https://redirectmeto.com/http://localhost:4200/integrations/social/vk
  • Docker: https://redirectmeto.com/http://localhost:4007/integrations/social/vk
VK will not send a visitor back to a plain http address, so when your FRONTEND_URL is not https she wraps the callback through redirectmeto.com on its way home. That wrapped address is the literal string she sends to VK, which makes it the one you register. Local development and Docker both fall into this case. Register the bare localhost URI instead and the login stops on VK with a redirect mismatch.
3

Set the environment variable

VK issues no client secret for this flow, so there is exactly one value to set.
That is the application id from your VK app. She sends it on the authorization request, on the token exchange and on every wall call, so it stays in use for the life of the channel.
4

Add the VK channel

Restart PostQueen so the new variable is read. With Docker Compose, run docker compose down and then docker compose up.In the web interface click Add Channel and pick VK, then accept the request on the VK side.Add Channel does not check whether VK_ID is set, so a missing value shows up as a broken authorization page on the VK side rather than a helpful message in PostQueen.
The channel is in the left sidebar with its avatar and name. That is the whole confirmation: if it is in the list, she can post to it.
