I’m no longer able to login to the Hivemq edge admin console after upgrading from 2024.9 to 2025.2. Hivemq edge is running in a docker container, no errors are logged, however chrome debug console reports `GET http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/frontend/configuration net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED index-C4zGATjt.js:441`. This error is repeated multiple times and `Network Error We cannot load your default credentials. Please try again later` is displayed above the user name text box.

Hivemq edge is running and data bridges are working as expected, I’m just unable to login to the admin. I tried adding the URL to /etc/hosts in the docker container without success.

This is hosted behind a nginx reveres proxy, so the api calls should be to `https://hivemq-edge.domain.com`.

I’m assuming something in the config changed? The release notes on github take me to a 404 page, so maybe I’m missing a breaking change?

Hi @PrairieSnpr

It looks like there might be a port conflict between HiveMQ Edge and Nginx. Could you try stopping Nginx temporarily and then accessing the HiveMQ Edge admin console directly at `http://127.0.0.1:8080`? This will help determine if Nginx is interfering with the connection or if the issue lies elsewhere.

Let us know what you find

Thanks @Daria_H, we can rule out an Nginx conflict, the web ui is visible, so that portion is working. I can’t really test as you asked since this is a headless server, but the web ui shows as expected. The issue is, that Nginx correctly proxies [https://hivemq-edge.domain.com](https://hivemq-edge.domain.com) to the docker container on port 8080, but the script that runs in the browser is still trying to reach localhost on port 8080. I assume that some logic was moved from the server to the client and I need to set the base url, but I have yet to find a setting for that.

Another note, reverting to `2025.1` fixes this, the issue is isolated to `2025.1-k8s`.

Hi PrairieSnpr,

It sounds like you’re not encountering issues with the `hivemq-edge:2025.1` Docker image, but you’re having trouble with the `hivemq-edge:2025.1-k8s` image.

You mentioned that the image is running in a Docker container, but the `-k8s` tag is typically meant for Kubernetes environments. Could you clarify why you’re running the Kubernetes-specific image in a Docker container?

Looking forward to your response!

I actually was using the `latest` tag. Looking at [https://hub.docker.com/r/hivemq/hivemq-edge/tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/hivemq/hivemq-edge/tags), the sha256 hash is the same for `latest` and `2025.1-k8s`.

This is resolved in `2025.2`.
