Hey @zorianix,

Can you check that you provide correct URI to connect to the MongoDB instance?

Config file(.env.example) used in docker-compose file:

api:
    image: faloker/purify-api
    restart: always
    env_file:
      - ./api/.env.example

Should have something like this:
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://root:example@mongo:27017

I got this running however i am only able to access this locally from the system on which the docker is running . I am running over vm and if I try accessing the ui , the ui gets loaded , however the login and signup features doesnt work

[Pavel Lineitsev]

if I try accessing the ui , the ui gets loaded , however the login and signup features doesnt work

Can you share what errors you see when you try to login or register?

[zorianix]

I only see error in the ui , stating "Signup/Login Failed" nothing else. Also the idea of letting the user select the content he wants to be displayed from an imported report is an awesome concept

[Pavel Lineitsev]

If login or register is not working, then the console or network tab of a browser will contain some sort of errors. Could you reproduce the problem and attach these errors to this issue?

[zorianix]

If i run this in prod mode i cannot access it either on localhost or remotely

with dev mode ,i can access via localhost , and cannot access it via ip remotely , only ui gets loaded.

ok then, could you try to update your setup in the following way:

• checkout develop branch
• edit docker-compose.yml

version: "2"

services:
  mongo:
    image: mongo
    restart: always
    environment:
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: example
    volumes:
      - mongo_db:/data/db

  api:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: api.dockerfile
    restart: always
    env_file:
      - ./api/.env.example
    depends_on:
      - mongo
    environment:
      NODE_ENV: production

  nginx:
    image: faloker/purify-nginx
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ./nginx/nginx.dev.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
    depends_on:
      - api
    ports:
      - 8080:8080

volumes:
  mongo_db: {}

• edit nginx dev config (because it will be served over http)

user nginx;
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
  worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
  include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
  default_type application/octet-stream;
  log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                  '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                  '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
  access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
  client_max_body_size 800m;
  sendfile on;
  keepalive_timeout 65;

  server {
    listen 8080 default_server;
   
    # change to your VM IP address
    server_name 192.168.1.2;

    location / {
      root /app;
      index index.html;
      try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }

    location /api {
      proxy_pass http://api:3000;
    }

    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
      root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
  }
}

• edit .env file (.env.example in that case)

JWT_SECRET=changeme
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://root:example@mongo:27017
DB_NAME=purify
# the same VM IP
DOMAIN=192.168.1.2
SECURE=false

• exec docker-compose up -d --build
• on the host machine navigate to http://192.168.1.2:8080
• everything should work
