BACKEND_URL & URL validation

[taiqn]

Hi, I need help.

I already set REACT_APP_BACKEND_URL= in client .env but in the logs show backend_url not found.

And could you please add a validator to check in put URL as valid or not.

Thanks

Hey, if you're following the instructions in the docs, you need to comment that line out, since the UI will automatically request from the URL it's currently on (because the backend and the frontend are run on the same server in production build). Just add a # to the beginning of that line, since it doesn't require changes (that's why it's optional).

I do agree it needs a better comment message.

Docker install is currently not stable: https://docs.pckd.me/docs/install-from-docker-compose

I'd recommend installing from code
