Hi dears,  
Kindly I would like to know how can I change the local host IP if I run the docker image on my server so I can open the control center from my windows browser.

I did the below changes

and then I got the below error

```auto

Hi Amer Abdulrahman Hijazi,

Were you able to get this working for your installation in the end? (just double-checking given your last reply to your topic)

I don’t know all the details of the setup you are using, but you may find the below documentation useful:

Dear Seth,

Thanks alot for your kind support the issue was because I did the change on config file during the docker image built and the container is running.

I solved by download the docker image from your repository then change the config file and then build the image.

Best Regards,  
Amer Hijazi,
