Just installed appwrite and upon doing an initial sign up for the default user it errors out with NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.

Interesting 🤔 What steps did you follow when setting up Appwrite locally?

winged badge May 23, 2025, 8:47 PM

#

ran this

#

docker run -it --rm --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw --entrypoint="install" appwrite/appwrite:1.7.2

#

set default port to something not 80 since i run other services on here

#

and then went to the login page to sign up for an account

formal mural May 23, 2025, 8:49 PM

#

Got it. All sounds correct.
Let's investigate further.

After trying to login/sign up, if you open browser's Console, can you provide a screenshot?
In "Network" tab, can you find the specific request, and show details of that? (payload, response, headers, path..)

winged badge May 23, 2025, 8:49 PM

#

hold on sure

#

CORS issue

formal mural May 23, 2025, 8:51 PM

#

goood, good

#

what's the hostname? Is it localhost?

winged badge May 23, 2025, 8:51 PM

#

yeah

formal mural May 23, 2025, 8:52 PM

#

hmm, lets see.. What URL exactly is blocked by CORS?

#

I am guessing something like http://localhost/v1/account

winged badge May 23, 2025, 8:53 PM

#

yes

formal mural May 23, 2025, 8:53 PM

#

perfect. if you visit it manually (in new browser tab), what does it respond with?

formal mural May 23, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

formal mural I am guessing something like `http://localhost/v1/account`

Oh wait, is it not localhost:[some-port]? 🤔

winged badge May 23, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

gives me a 404

winged badge May 23, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

formal mural Oh wait, is it not `localhost:[some-port]`? 🤔

and yes

formal mural May 23, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

winged badge gives me a 404

Can you send me the response body? Just want to make sure this is 100% appwrite response

#

(if not, we know problem is before appwrite api container)

winged badge May 23, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

no response

#

its just a direct block

formal mural May 23, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

oh, just empty 404?

winged badge May 23, 2025, 8:55 PM

#

oh the return

#

hold on

This looks like it’s the same issue I’m having that I just posted here https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1375547722245083286

formal mural May 23, 2025, 8:55 PM

#

I would expect something like this, for example

winged badge May 23, 2025, 8:56 PM

#

{"message":"User (role: guests) missing scope (account)","code":401,"type":"general_unauthorized_scope","version":"1.7.2"}

Oh wow, sounds easy to reproduce. Let me spin up droplet to try it

#

There might be new security measures due to sites, which might be causing trouble for when port is customized.
Trying on my end, Ill get back to you folks in 5-10 mins

just read ur issue and yeah saw the reply . . . non standard ports are an issue huh

#

i need 80 open as i use it for other stuffs

#

only other option i guess would be to host on an actual vm

obtuse roost May 23, 2025, 8:58 PM

#

@winged badge out of curiosity, what OS are you using?

winged badge May 23, 2025, 8:58 PM

#

ubuntu

obtuse roost May 23, 2025, 8:59 PM

#

Oh never mind. I’m on a Mac. Was hoping there was some connection with Mac and silicon chips here. Guess not

winged badge May 23, 2025, 8:59 PM

#

nah . . . me thinks its attempting to use the default port for requests despite the fact that there is a different one in there

obtuse roost May 23, 2025, 8:59 PM

#

Yup, that’s what I think as well

winged badge May 23, 2025, 9:00 PM

#

only reason why it would be pulling a CORS error

#

if u take a look at network anything that is not a direct asset is pulled without the port and fails

#

interestingly enough i had used a 1.6 version previously without this problem so seems to be a new issue in regards to 1.7

formal mural May 23, 2025, 9:03 PM

#

Found it, trying to see if there is a fix other than 1.7.3 release

winged badge May 23, 2025, 9:04 PM

#

we gotta wait for 1.7.3? or can we just pull that for the docker instance and remove the 1.7.2

formal mural May 23, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

I am trying to find solution that doesntrequire 1.7.3. Need another 5-10mins

winged badge May 23, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

i should say is it a current version or one in a beta or something

winged badge May 23, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

formal mural I am trying to find solution that doesntrequire 1.7.3. Need another 5-10mins

ight . . . thanks for helping me out with this . . . im sure many others will thank u as well if they come across it for this thread

#

of course i say that and i didnt even look at literally the one prior to mine

formal mural May 23, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

Grrr, it's so complex. And for us it's just 1 line fix

#

Let me try to reach some engineers for reviews

#

On Friday night

winged badge May 23, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

is it something we can do on our end?

#

like a manual patch i can do

formal mural May 23, 2025, 9:18 PM

#

winged badge is it something we can do on our end?

# Clone Console
git clone --single-branch --branch 6.0.8 https://github.com/appwrite/console.git

# Enter directory
cd console

# Build new image
# Took me ~3mins
PUBLIC_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:9555/" docker build -t appwrite/console:6.0.8 .

# Go back to Appwrite folder
cd ..

# Restart Appwrite
docker compose up -d --force-recreate

#

This, probably

#

but its just so complex I didnt even want to suggest it

winged badge May 23, 2025, 9:19 PM

#

if its literally just run that then how is it complex?

#

ill try it in a minute and see if it works

#

one question though

#

that endpoint should i be using my own port instead of 9555?

formal mural May 23, 2025, 9:21 PM

#

ah, yes, exactly. change port number, I was testing on 9555

formal mural May 23, 2025, 9:21 PM

#

winged badge if its literally just run that then how is it complex?

We consider this complex 😅 Simplicity is core value of Appwrite

winged badge May 23, 2025, 9:21 PM

#

should i bring down appwrite before doing it?

#

or will it just refresh it automatically

formal mural May 23, 2025, 9:21 PM

#

very good values to have

#

my boss complains i dont follow KISS principle enough myself

#

soooo . . . should the git clone only happen within the appwrite folder itself and not an outside directory?

#

idk if that matters with docker as i dont really use it much for anything

Doesnt matter, buuut give me a minute. We might not need these steps all-together

winged badge May 23, 2025, 9:28 PM

#

i did it outside and nothing . . .

#

nope

#

still issues

#

continues to pull from default port

@winged badge Good news! I managed to get PR merged, and release new version. Please do following:

Open docker.compose.yml file (auto-generated in appwrite folder, created by installation)
Locate appwrite-console service, it should be using image appwrite/console:6.0.8 (or maybe a bit different number)
Set image version to appwrite/console:6.0.11
Save changes
Apply changes with docker compose down && docker compose up -d
Enjoy Appwrite on custom port 🥳
