Hi @Kal_Lam.

My problem is that when I try to access through another device with the IP address of my local server.

It only works when I use the virtual host name on the local server:

Url Kobo:

http://kf.kobo.local:8080

but when i try connect with another device for example:
http://172.22.240.233:8080

no response from kobo server (docker)

Any idea how I can connect through another device?

Thanks

PD: sy bad english

The NGINX reverse proxy relies on the hostname to send requests to the container which they need to go to.
Just add an entry to your local device’s hosts file like this:

172.22.240.233 kf.kobo.local kc.kobo.local ee.kobo.local

Did you find a solution eventually ? I am having the same issue

its setup to be accessed via the external IP address, you could have some firewall rules thats stopping it as well.

as jmillar said:
open your hosts file
in windows you can find it here
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
open it as administrator
and add a line:
your_kobo_machine_ip kf.kobo.local kc.kobo.local ee.kobo.local
