Hi all.

I am discovering Discourse.  
I have just installed it (v2.2.0.beta9 +83), for testing purpose for now.  
I used the 30mn quick installation through docker, with the standalone sample.

I couldn’t set the email smtp right, but I could find help to activate my account in the database (update email\_tokens set confirmed=true where email=‘myemail’) and I could log then. I am precising this just in case it were linked to my actual issue.

I could setup the wizard, and chose the light blue theme proposed by default. No plugin, extension, customization at all : I just try to install and test discourse.

The problem is : I have no icon at all in all the website, except for the personal icons I have uploaded during the wizard.

 ![Discourse-NoIcons](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/8/483c89006a67eb0113d6eb3555a2d55b31dca18d.jpeg)

If it can be of help :

- My computer is on Windows 10
- I have a VirtualBox installed with Ubuntu 18
- Docker and Discourse are installed in this Ubuntu
- Because the DISCOURSE\_HOSTNAME is mandatory during the setup, I have set it to localhost:8080
- I have a redirection of the Ubuntu guest 8080 towards the Windows host 80 so that I can test in my host Chrome browser

I could use some help because the website is quite ugly without all the font awesome icons!

Thanks

Remove the redirection and set the port to `8080` in the rails console.

Ok thank you Régis, I will first pass to “localhost” only and test in the guest browser to check if it can solve this font issue. If yes, I will see how to :

- connect to rails console (seems to be rails c)
- change the port  
PS : I’m a developer from the nodejs ans scala worlds, it is my first time on a ruby environment 🙂

Yup, the rails console is `rails c` and you can set the port with `SiteSetting.port = 8080` (Discourse specific).

That’s it, it was the redirection between host and guest which cut the fonts.  
Thank you very much Régis ! 🙂
