I write my local host to access : 192.18.72.142

Hi @Aman_Slamaa

In order to debug your issue, it’s best you provide more infos:
a) what is the ip address of your docker-host which shall be reachable from your client PC where you run your browser
b) what is the output of docker ps?
c) can you post the contents of your docker-compose.yml?

Please note when posting output/configs here in the forum, it’s best to use a code-block

indent preformatted text by 4 spaces

This is necessary to check if your indentation in your docker-compose.yml is fine.

Cheers,
Julian.

Hi Julian, a newbie here. Same problem. I’m running Docker Desktop WSL.

but I just get this on the browser:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no" name="viewport">

</head>

</html>

Any solution? thanks

Hi @xxkk

Can you post your docker-compose.yml file in here (you may want to redact some internal sensitive information like hostname or IPs).

Most of these issues are due to wrong docker-compose.yml settings.

Cheers

Hi @xxkk

It looks like you set WEBAPI_URL to http://localhost:8080 but on the other hand you set webui host-bound ports to 80 and 443.

The variable-name of WEBAPI_URL is unfortunately somewhat misleading and although this is used to tell your browser where your API is accessible, the request itself is usually handled by the webui container.

You need to set WEBAPI_URL to the URL where metasfresh (webui-port) will be available from browsers - see the example docker-compose.yml in here: https://docs.metasfresh.org/installation_collection/EN/How_do_I_setup_the_metasfresh_stack_using_Docker.html

In order to solve your issue, you have two possibilities:

  1. Change WEBAPI_URL to http://localhost (assuming you want to access metasfresh via browser using http://localhost in the URL bar if your browser is running on the same machine as the metasfresh-stack
    Note: on Windows you might run into permission issues when trying to run a service on localhost 80/TCP

OR

  1. Change the port part in your webui section to use port 8080 on your host and leave WEBAPI_URL as it is right now:
...
webui:
...
  ports:
    - "8080:80"
...
  environment:
    - WEBAPI_URL=http://localhost:8080

After that, just restart your docker-compose project. After everything has booted up (might take a few minutes, depending on your hardware) you should be able to access metasfresh using your browser:
Solution 1: http://localhost
Solution 2: http://localhost:8080
