Check the logs from browser console & server side. |
|
Where would I find the logs? |
|
Based on what browser you use, google it to find how to get browser console log. IN chrome, its under three dot-->More Tools-->Developer Tools-->Console. run below command to get the container id and then run second command. docker logs <container_name_or_id> |
|
The server logs are repeatedly reporting Error fetching app version: Password fields present on an insecure (http://) page. This is a security risk that allows user login credentials to be stolen. 502 Bad Gatewaynginx/1.29.3 index-BIJ0XyAh.js:75:3065 502 Bad Gatewaynginx/1.29.3 |
This is your problem. Read the doc or example env variable to find out how to generate encryption key and supply to the docker |
|
It now shows a different issue/error. |
|
Thank you for your help, I will do this tomorrow and mark this as the
answer.

Did you eventually figure it out? |
|
I did not, unfortunately. It's been a while, so I should probably update
the program and revisit it
Are you having the same issue?
|
|
My issues had some similarities to yours, so I had hoped I could figure something out if you had a solution for your issue :-) |
|
@MTtheman @ovizii Use the latest version and and let me know if you run into any issues. You can also join the discord to get help from others as well |

I tried again with the latest updates and still had errors.

I need to know the exact steps you followed, env file. Error from browser console and server. |

I am running on docker. I have attached a video with the browser console,
my .env file, and the server logs.

Are you using docker or directly running in the server etc.

Refer the sample setup here and give it a one more time. frontend url should be 3004 not 3010 ( i will fix the example.env file) Also clear the DB directory and try again. looks like it couldn't connect to DB. either DB is not up or its password is wrong. |

I can't access your video from the google drive. probably share as public view. |

Oh! Silly me! Try viewing the video once more.

I will need your compose, env file , log from server and browser to troubleshoot. There is something you didnt do or I missed in the sample setup. Only way is to see what you have and go from there. The sample setup is copy paste from my prod and i removed only my personal details and keys. |

This should be everything.

what is the port you are using for DB? i had it as 5434 as 5432 was already taken by another app in my server. your server component can't connect to DB. |

It appears as though I am using 5434. Nothing else is using that port.

Can you share your env and compose file. hide your personal and keys alone . I can't help you if you are not providing all the info I asked. |
|
I was responding with email. And it didn't forward the attachment to GitHub 🤦 |
Looks like the problem lies here. Your front end URL is wrong you need to check ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK_CORS and SPARKY_FITNESS_EXTRA_TRUSTED_ORIGINS if the URL you supplied and the URL you are accessing are different. |
|
Where would I find that to check it? |
what is the value you set for SPARKY_FITNESS_FRONTEND_URL ? you need to access the same via that URL. check for issues like https vs http. From the error you are trying to access via http://192.168.1.12:3004 but the SPARKY_FITNESS_FRONTEND_URL could be different/wrong If you want to allow multiple URLs, you need to set those variables to server container. refer the example.env file but I think fixing SPARKY_FITNESS_FRONTEND_URL should be enough for your case |
|
Got it! I didn't realize I needed to include the port in the URL. My
apologies for wasting your time. Thanks for making this for the community!
