when i try to connect to my airbyte it says http://localhost:8000/ This site can’t be reached localhost refused to connect.Try: • Checking the connection • Checking the proxy and the firewall ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

The error message you're seeing typically indicates that the Airbyte server is not running or not accessible at the specified address (http://localhost:8000). Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue: 1. Check if the Airbyte server is running: You can do this by checking the logs of the Airbyte server. If you're running Airbyte using Docker, you can use the command

docker logs airbyte-server

to view the server logs ([source](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/2122)). 2. Ensure you've started the Airbyte server correctly: If you're running Airbyte locally, you should start it by running

docker compose up

from the Airbyte repository root. The server is ready when you see a banner printed in the terminal window where you're running

docker compose up

([source](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/tutorials/the-hard-way/build-a-connector-the-hard-way#2-add-the-connector-via-the-airbyte-ui)). 3. Check your network settings: If you're running Airbyte on a remote machine or a cloud platform, ensure that the necessary ports are open and that your machine can reach the Airbyte server. If you're using a cloud platform, you might need to set up port forwarding or adjust your instance's network settings. If you're still having trouble, it would be helpful to know more about your setup, such as your operating system, how you're deploying Airbyte (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and any error messages you're seeing in the logs.
