About ROOT_URL: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Settings

For example, in Wekan Snap, set ROOT_URL to your computer IP address:

sudo snap set wekan root-url='http://192.168.0.100'
sudo snap set wekan port='80'

There is no need for Nginx, you can stop that.

Alternatively, set some other port:

sudo snap set wekan root-url='http://192.168.0.100:2000'
sudo snap set wekan port='2000'

Boards do have human readable names at end of URL, it is generated from board name/title/topic, whichever you like to call it. When you change board name, also board URL changes.

Thanks, you are right I forgot to mention that I am using Wekan Snap. I have followed the instructions about root-url. And though it works as you say with http://192.168.0.100 but it doesn't work if root-url='http://example.com'. I only provided the url format to indicate that I have set up root-url correctly and it is trying to do the right thing, but something is preventing it from actually loading the card. I understand this https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/2896#issuecomment-577257140 and I can make it work with solution 1. For solution 2, I have enabled the DHCP server on my router and matched the root-url with the hostname for my laptop. Do you know of any router or linux network settings that may affect this? I will try again without nginx to see if that makes a mess of things and failing that try to actually set wekan up to be accessible from the internet as example 1 from https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Settings Thanks again, really nice application.

If you have some exising domain, or buy some domain and set it's nameserver A record pointing to your IP addess, it does work.

Hosts file probably does not work for domain names that have dot

Or, set some subdomain pointing to your Wekan server IP address

For some website to be visible at Internet, usually it needs ports 80 and 443 open to Internet

Also, if you have subdomain that points to your private IP address like 192.168.0.100 , it does work inside your local network for all devices, but not at Internet, because private LAN IP addresses are not routed to Internet

BTW, for programmers: There is currently in progress Meteor.js Impact free online conference https://impact.meteor.com , some talks are now in progress, and all of the conference talks are recorded

There are talks about scaling Meteor, PWAs, etc etc

Thanks again for the pointers.

Hello, How can I transfer my Wekan docker-db? I transer "volumes:

  - ./wekan-db:/data/db" but if I start docker-compose it's didn't start (eternal restarting docker-db) 

how can I migrate Wekan-db if I have only "./wekan-db:/data/db" from my other server

@dmitrii See https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Export-from-Wekan-Sandstorm-grain-.zip-file and https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Backup

You copy raw MongoDB files to same version of MongoDB database server raw file directory, start MongoDB, do mongodump, restore to Wekan Snap or Wekan Docker

thanks for reply, I have broken docker container with wekan I can't start any docker services on my old VM so can I just transfer my wekan-db directory? because I can't start wekan-db docker and do backup. Have you any advise?

Yes, you just copy your wekan-db directory with those raw mongodb database files to another computer where you have working mongodb of same version

you replace those mongodb files on when mongodb is not running

and then start mongodb

and then try mongodump

can't start wekan-mongo-db container if I replace all mongodb files

if I replaced mongodb files it trigered to infinoty restarting wekan db container

but if I delete / clear back mongo-db directory it's works fine again
