In some occassions you might encounter a problem following the guide. The answers below hope to answer your questions, and if they don't, submit an issue.

This can happen when the frontend's server is not able to make server side requests to the backend. This can happen if the SERVER_API_URL ENV variable is not able to point locally to the backend.

The way you fix this is by changing the ENV variable to point to a URL which can be fetched from whatever option you're using.

# commonly used in docker-compose and ansible configurations
# (you can point this to your production domain, but it won't work in testing)
SERVER_API_URL=http://server:4000

# kubernetes
SERVER_API_URL=https://media.davidapps.dev

This can happen when the frontend's client is not able to make a request to the backend. This can happen if the API_URL ENV variable is not able to point to the backend.

# commonly used in docker-compose and ansible configurations
# (you can point this to your production domain, but it won't work in testing)
API_URL=http://localhost:4000

# kubernetes
API_URL=https://media.davidapps.dev
