Hi Team, I want to start contributing to Infisical. I forked the repo and followed the development setup guide, but I'm unable to access the application after setup. Environment: • OS: Windows 11 • Docker Desktop with WSL2 • Following: docker-compose.dev.yml Steps I followed: 1. Cloned the forked repository and copies the .env files from the .env.example 2. Ran:
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build --force-recreate
3. All containers build and start successfully 4. Frontend loads at
localhost:8080
(shows only logo) 5. Backend at port 4000 is not responding Issue: • Frontend shows only the Infisical logo and keeps loading • Browser console shows:
AxiosError: Request failed with status code 502
• Nginx logs show:
Connection refused while connecting to upstream <http://172.19.0.7:4000>
• The
infisical-dev-api
container appears to start but doesn't respond to requests 1. Is there a .env file configuration I'm missing? 2. Are there any prerequisites or setup steps not mentioned in the docs? 3. How can I debug why the backend isn't starting properly? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to contributing to this project.
