Hello,

Since one or two month, (Mattermost desktop app update), when i’m trying to connect to [https://xxxx.com](https://xxxx.com) (docker infrastructure + traefik tgrough port 80), Mattermost allways try to connect to ([http://localhost:8065](http://localhost:8065)).

When i’m trying in browser it’s ok, Mattermost is displayed correctly.

Is someone have any idea why ?

Thanks in advance,  
Arnaud

Hi Nono44 and welcome to the Mattermost forums!

This behaviour has been introduced in a recent desktop app update (I think it was 5.1) and the desktop app now always tries to connect to the configured `SiteURL`. Not sure what deployment method you’re using, but since you said you’re using docker, you’re probably using the docker compose method with the `.env` files? If so, you will find the following two relevant configuration options in it:

```auto
# Domain of service
DOMAIN=yourdomain
MM_SERVICESETTINGS_SITEURL=https://${DOMAIN}

```

If you have your own setup, make sure to set the environment variable `MM_SERVICESETTINGS_SITEURL` to the URL your server runs on (including the protocol and potential subpaths).
