Hi @Bra welcome to Discourse Meta :wave: :slight_smile:

Are you installing for production or a local test and development instance?

Hello @Lilly Thank you.
First of all I want a development instance on my own vps as a showcase if it can be used for our company.

I configured the app.yml on port 444 and 81

The website should be accessible by subdomain. I configured everything according to the guide. But when I enter I get 504 error but it comes from my nginx service not from the docker.

When I type netstat -plant | grep 444 it looks good.
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:444 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 30239/docker-proxy
tcp6 0 0 :::444 :::* LISTEN 30245/docker-proxy

but I get no connection when I stop my own nginx. How do I fix the nginx in the container?
