Can't connect more than one person to the server

[dsipetcher]

Shlink version

4.2.0

PHP version

8.3.0

How do you serve Shlink

Docker image

Database engine

PostgreSQL

Database version

16.0

Summary

I can connect to the self hosted shlink server both throughh the self hosted web client and shlink.io. But anyone else can't connect to the server, and server and client is running from the image so I can't imagine what could possibly go wrong

Hi,

I hate to ask, but could you provide a docker compose file of your setup, excluding any sensitive info of course. I'm having issues setting this up and have posted a message with no response for some time. Furthermore, I would really appreciate your assistance on where I went wrong

Thanks

nginx_conf_web.txt
nginx_conf.txt
I did both conteiners by the commands from the img:
docker run
--name my_shlink
-p 8083:8080
-e DEFAULT_DOMAIN=creobit.com
-e IS_HTTPS_ENABLED=true
shlinkio/shlink:stable

docker run
--name shlink-web-client
-p 8000:8080
-e SHLINK_SERVER_URL=https://creobit.com/
-e SHLINK_SERVER_API_KEY= our API key
shlinkio/shlink-web-client

And I did all of the nginx configuration by myself by using my past conf files and editing them for the slink and web client
@franco640 will be looking forward for your answers or info requests)))

@franco640 Honestly, I firstly tried to do install via dist file, but I didn't understand what to do after configuration. So I did install via dist, and after that I just run the 'docker run' command. In configuration process I choosed Postgres as I have one running on my server. I did not seen a docker-compose file at all. I understand that my explanation can be confusing, but I beg you to not give up on my problem)

@franco640 Thank you for your effort! My senior colligue helped me with this one, problem was a nginx config, not the shlink itself)
