So I am trying to run growthbook self hosted on my server but I run into the following issue:
Copy code
Error connecting to the GrowthBook API at http://<my-server-ip>:3100.
I have added these variables in my docker-compose.yml:
Copy code
environment:
      - APP_ORIGIN=http://<my-server-ip>:3000
      - API_HOST=http://<my-server-ip>:3100
removed my ip from the example above but it does not seem to be working, I still get the issue. Does someone know why?

Hi Anton
usually this is because you haven’t changed the JWT secret in the env settings
you should be able to go to the API url directly and see a json object returned
you’ll also find the API will log the error, if you check the container logs

This is how my docker-compose.yml looks like:

did you edit the JWT_SECRET string?

I am wondering if it could be something cors related since I’m trying to access it from a browser outside of my server?
Copy code
strict-origin-when-cross-origin
Yeah I just added the JWT_SECRET string, I didn’t have it before.

if you go directly to the API host, can you see it returning a small JSON object?

No, I get a:
Copy code
strict-origin-when-cross-origin
on trying to access the url for API_HOST
If I do it in postman I get a: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED

you shouldnt get a CORS error when accessing the url directly

Do I need ssl certificate to be able to do this self hosted?

Nope, I am doing http.
So now it’s working to access the admin panel, is there something extra that needs to be passed from the client now that I have JWT_SCRET and Encryption key setup? When I’m trying to access the feature toggles from the React Native client using the React SDK I get: No authorization token was found Do I need to have authorization setup and setting a token_endpoint or is that optional? Pretty much the only thing I wanna be doing is fetching a json with feature toggles for the user.
Do you have any idea? @fresh-football-47124

I am using the Full api endpoint from the React config settings:

ya, thats the API end point
if you’re looking to fetch the features for use in your code, we suggest you use an SDK end point
