@Roi could you please help clarify how this is setup. I’m confused. I found my docker container ip using `sudo docker inspect libretranslate`

From your linked post, is the API endpoint treated as:

`http://dockerip:5000`

with no API key needed? I’m running libretranslate in a container alongside Discourse. Thanks!
