First manual docker container setup help

[VelcroBP]

I'm trying to self-host a discord bot. I am using the instructions on their Dockerhub page. I am able to map the correct paths and have the config.yml file updated with my variables. However, I don't seem to have the port/address mapping correct, as it will not connect. In the container log it just keeps repeating an error like "bind: cannot assign requested address". Is this a simple misconfiguration that I can correct? Or have I bit off more than I can chew in terms of setting this up with my lack of Docker knowledge?

 

Attached are the unRaid container log, the HTTP snippet of my config.yml, and the status from the unRaid Docker tab

...that IP address looks like one from your local LAN? Then use a custom.bridge/br0 for your network in the docker setting and set the desired IP accordingly.

I got it to work by setting it to listen to the 172.xxx domain in the config.yml, and then set up my cloudflare/Nginx to point to the server's port on the 192.xxx.

Will it work if you have it listen at 127.0.0.1?  The 172 address can and do change based upon startup order etc.

I'll keep that in mind and maybe test after a reboot. I did move it into a folder and down in the boot order and it is still working.

After a reboot it was indeed assigned another 172. I changed the bind to 127.0.0.1 as suggested and it's working great! thanks again!
