GrowthBook Users

why are you using two different VPS providers?

I just meant that I was using my go-to one, but I got this error. To troubleshoot, I decided to switch to another one.

I'm only using one at a time, it's not distributed. Both growthbook and mongo images are running on one VM.

It's weird, because it seems that APP_ORIGIN setting works, but not API_HOST

Though I'm litterally using the same IP in them

Currently Ubuntu 22.04 with 1 vCPU and 2 GB RAM. but initially I tried it on Ubuntu 22.04 with 12 CPU and 64 GB RAM

Oh, no, just cheaper Eastern European VPS provders...

```git clone <https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook.git>
cd growthbook
&lt;then I edited docker-compose.yml to include my IP&gt;
docker-compose up -d```

It should work, seems there is some networking issues with the VPS

Sometimes communication between docker containers is problematic

<@U01T6HCHD0A> Okay, thank you! I'll try maybe another VPS provider and a different distro... Luckily nowadays you can pay per hour or even minute of your instance running :slightly_smiling_face:

Can I ask in this very thread as well about ClickHouse support? I've been reading contradicting posts online. Is it possible to connect to ClickHouse from GrowthBook?

We use ubuntu - I dont think that’s the issue

if you can’t get packets to the the API

Yes, you can connect from GrowthBook to Clickhouse

<@U01T6HCHD0A> Thank you for your help, I'll post here if something new pops up in regards to this issue for the communnity benefit :+1:

Turns out one has also to set up *JWT_SECRET* with a random string in *docker-compose.yml* to run it on external IP:
```version: "3"
services:
...
  growthbook:
...
    environment:
...
      - JWT_SECRET='&lt;random_string&gt;'```
I was getting this error in docker-compose logs on back-end side:
```Error: Cannot use JWT_SECRET=dev in production. Please set to a long random string```

perhaps I’ll add something to the FAQ for this
