Hi, any idea what could have caused my site to lose all the svg icons, and is there any way to get them back? It’s a brand new docker installation

Try enabling `force-https`? Refresh using Ctrl + F5 to dump cache?

It’s definitely not a cache issue. Can’t force https either because I’m running it locally

What shows up in the network logs?

This might have something to do with it? Not sure what the base url is doing in the middle of that file path

Huh, that seems… Very wrong. I don’t think I can really help much here personally, I hope someone else can.

I think on a dev install you need to change the port to get images:

> It’s a hidden setting. Try changing it in the rails console. bin/rails c SiteSetting.port = 3000

That’s a different issue entirely. You can see that the resource my install is requesting has the port number 8087 in the url already

Dev installs aren’t my forte. 🙂 Hopefully someone else has some insights. 🤞

Can someone with a working installation tell me what their `svgSpritePath` is set to?
Mine is “/svg-sprite/localhost:8087/svg-1-35f1b7e7d78d4b224c6ced63e8fc60a8ee1add9f.js” which clearly isn’t right, not sure where that’s coming from though

That’s probably the issue. It likely expects the domain without the port. (mine doesn’t have the port)
I’m not using a docker dev install, so I really don’t know.
In my case (Windows WSL), the URL is `http://localhost:4200`, and to start Discourse I use this command: `DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME=localhost UNICORN_LISTENER=localhost:3000 bin/ember-cli -u`
So I’m thinking that maybe you need to define `DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME` or similar?

Yeah I was just about to post-- svgs aren’t loading because the js file they’re in has the url [http://localhost:8087/svg-sprite/localhost/svg-](http://localhost:8087/svg-sprite/localhost/svg-)…
and that script is trying to load
[http://localhost:8087/svg-sprite/localhost:8087/svg-](http://localhost:8087/svg-sprite/localhost:8087/svg-)…
So the port in the hostname is the problem.
When I change `DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME` to simply `localhost` however the site doesn’t load at all. Seems like it needs the port some places but not others
