Access the Solace Admin from the Virtual Machine Host

General Discussions
1

Hello dear community,
I’m new to solace in general and I would liked to get a support the following case.
I have a centos 7 virtual machine running on My Windows Host, Inside the VM, I have Docker installed and a running solace container, The ports are correctly forwarded to the outside of the Docker and to the outside of the virtual machine.
For some reasons when I try to access http://localhost:8080 → in My case http://localhost:8888 since I’ve forwarded the ** 8080 → 8888** I properly get the login page, but when I enter the credentials, I get an internal Server Error which.
I tried to look in the browser to see the network calls, and it seems like the APIs calls are adding a kind of /__private_monitor__/ path to all the request.
I assume it is a configuration issue with my solace, can someone guide we through it ?

If you wonder what is the content of the show service cli command:

Hi delly_fofie,
could you post your docker-run command ?

I’m using docker-compose, here is my docker compose file:

services:
  primary:
    container_name: pubSubStandardSingleNode
    image: solace/solace-pubsub-standard:latest
    shm_size: 1g
    ulimits:
      core: 1
      nofile:
        soft: 2448
        hard: 38048
    deploy:
      restart_policy:
        condition: on-failure
        max_attempts: 1
    ports:
      - "8888:8080"
      - "55555:55555"
    environment:
      - username_admin_globalaccesslevel=admin
      - username_admin_password=admin
      - system_scaling_maxconnectioncount=100

Just guessing:
First request to localhost:8888 get’s some URL for login button or redirect or something… and maybe that URL to come back to the broker is just wrong (and includes Port 8080 instead of 8888)… but as I said… just guessing.
I have to test.
