Description

I use an nginx container to forward the host ip and other relevant ip address.

Even when setting the ip address here, it still hardcodes links in the kubo web ui as http://127.0.0.1:/ipfs/

@pc0124 thank you for reporting, are you able to screenshot what exactly does not work in ipfs-webui? (which screen, which link)

[pc0124]

when viewing files in chrome, the 127.0.0.1 gateway does not resolve so it remains a broken img. in firefox, it uses the global ipfs.io gateway as backup. that's nice and all, but when viewing it in my local network, it would be nice to preview it without the gateways first. locally pinned or not pinned images do not work.

I have EXACTLY the same problem. I have tried every possible way to configure the system to use the real host name, and it ALWAYS goes to http://127.0.0.1:8080.

I've tried Chrome and Firefox, tried every setting imaginable. Modified files. Nothing works.

This is a serious bug and it's surprising it's not affecting basically everyone. The only explanation I can see is that almost no one is using the webUI. Or those that are using it are hosting kubo and the webUI in the same machine that they work. But this essentially makes it impossible for any more serious user to use the UI, like any homelabber, for instance.
