3. What steps have you already taken to try and solve the problem?
I’ve tried removing the UPPERCASE HTTP_BIND_ADDRESS line from the config but no help.

4. How can the community help?
Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong with this config?

whoops, gnarly formatting

Use the </> formatting tool around code to make it more readable. :slight_smile:

Hello @primerib

I fixed your first post to make it more readable. :+1:

Hello,

I seen some strange configuration in your Docker configuration. I was wondering if you could explanation this for better clarity.

I noticed these configuration are doubled, should only have one.

Then you have this setting configured ( http)

But then you also have this configure ( https) which makes me think your using Certificates for URL.

Did this installation work before or is this a new installation?

Yes, it worked in another environment. Same OS, images, etc though.
I’ll remove duplicate.
No certs, so I’ll remove ‘https’
