ok, I will look for resource guide

after installing. server ip:3567/hello should produce a response?

After installing and running it

ok. maybe its a server issue than. it is running but port doesn't repond

Could be..

I started docker with mySQL command line parameters. But I don't see any tables in the database

Can u show me your docker run command please ?

docker run -p 3567:3567 -e MYSQL_USER=root -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=XXXXXX -e MYSQL_HOST=127.0.0.1 -e MYSQL_PORT=3306 -e MYSQL_DATABASE_NAME=supertokens -d supertokens/supertokens-mysql

Your mysql host will have to be the IP of your computer on your network, assuming that the db is listening on that host

yes the mySQL service is on the same host

host 127.0.0.1 points to within the supertokens docker image itself, which is not running your mysql

what's the IP of your computer?

your LAN IP

it will be something like 192.168....

ok, so I can try public ip then

yea you can. Or an internal IP

just not localhost or 127.0.0.1

ifconfig shows docker with ip address and other adapter looks like public ip address

yea you can try those. But make sure mysql is listening to those

ok

is there some log or way to find out if its having trouble connecting to the database

Yea. Checkout the “docker log” command.

Or run the docker run command without the -d option

to connect to docker is there an API key, or just use the connectionURI?

@dbMI you need just the connectionURI. Unless you have also passed some API key as an env var in the docker run command

No I haven't.

So you don’t need to give an apiKey

However, when I add the SaaS api key then it works. Does that make sense?

If your connectionURI points to the SaaS instance, then u will need its API key

no, it's pointing to my docker
