Hi there!
I found few similar questions with no real answer - the closest one is this: [Cannot get web admin to work](https://community.graylog.org/t/cannot-get-web-admin-to-work/7789)
I’ve tried both graylog 2.5 and 3 with same results - most of the time the HTML contains references to urls containing internal docker ip instead of relative ones or with external address. What’s interesting it randomly works - once per 10-20 requests (or docker compose restarts - hard to say). I tried various variables for GRAYLOG\_WEB\_ENDPOINT\_URI, GRAYLOG\_REST\_LISTEN\_URI, GRAYLOG\_WEB\_LISTEN\_URI without real success.
Wonder if there is any reliable solution for this? I am using docker-compose file from the settings running docker containers inside VPS with external IP and domain name assigned.
Regards!
Szymon

one workaround (which actually makes a lot of sense) is to add to a docker-compose.yml a openvpn instance and then reach out directly to a docker ip to talk to graylog
still I am curious to know if its possible to start the docker compose and access it from outside

In my lab environment I have used NGINX to proxy that:

And in the Documentation given `docker-compose` file you only need to adjust one setting. `GRAYLOG_WEB_ENDPOINT_URI` to be the URL that is reachable by your Webbrowser.
