Feedback/ need help in self hosting - docker - kubernetes

[jayadattasai]

I'm trying to deploy both frontend and backend in a kuberenetes setup( bare metal - on prem) ,
I faced the error "OSError - Address family not supported by protocol" because it was thinking i gave an IPv6 address but it was just http ingress url of backend deployment pod.�I had a very hard time finding/modifying the api_url in rx.config as per documentation, setting it with IP address of machine or the hostname where the service needs to run, i somehow got it fixed by using kubernetes way of accessing pods via service host name like deployment-svc.namespace.cluster.local:port

Now got this running fine and exposed the backend ingress to a url lets say "my-app-backend.example.com" and what irks me i have to put this again in api_url in the frontend docker build stage and change it back to deployment-svc.namespace.cluster.local:port while doing backend docker build stage

I tried putting an env variable API_URL while building docker for frontend but it does not take from env. I find this integration tedious for self hosted setup. Am i missing anything here. ��Thank you.

Update:
Only thing that works is to leave the default - rx.config untouched except app name rx.Config(app_name="myapp", api_url="http://localhost:8000")
And use env variable REFLEX_API_URL=https://yoursite.example.com

Looks like documentation needs change.
