Hey all

I'm trying to connect to my server here. yaml file has been set accordingly with the following address: https://drop.abcd.com.

It's going through pangolin at port 1337 (I changed the default port) and I can access the server just fine via browser. However, the client gives me the above mentioned error message.

My docker compose file is basically unmodified with the exception of the port (1337:3000) and the EXTERNAL_URL=https://drop.abcd.com

Any idea what causes this ? The logs don't show anything.

Can you access the API at https://drop.abcd.com/api/v1/

Also if you haven't, check the client logs, they may have more information.

Where are the Drop client logs located?
The logs for your Drop desktop client are located in different places depending on your platform:

  • Windows: %appdata%/drop
  • Linux: $XDG_DATA_HOME/drop or ~/.local/share/drop
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/drop

Hey thanks

Sorry, this can be closed. My pangolin reverse proxy was blocking the app...
