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.
