@srisgajare After running the docker container.
Open another terminal and follow the steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/apache/cloudstack.git.
2. cd cloudstack\ui (If using windows).
3. then npm install.
4. and finally, npm serve.
   and also make sure to set CS_URL=http://localhost:8080/client on .env.local file on ui.
   Hopefully, you'll be able to run the management server on http://localhost:5050

Hi @srisgajare can you confirm if @apurv-1's workaround fixes the issue?

This is not an issue @srisgajare you're supposed to run the UI separately as developer. How are you building the docker image, one solution is to also build the UI using npm and copy and replace the src as Apurv mentioned above.

@nvazquez @sureshanaparti @davidjumani @shwstppr @Pearl1594 @DaanHoogland @weizhouapache - any update on this, who's assigned/working on this? This however, may not be a high-priority task - but let's discuss and conclude on a resolution, thanks.
