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

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

and then start mongodb
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

Does it give any errors? docker logs wekan-db
sent you a huge log in private message, check please

It seems there is checksum errors, so most likely that data is corrupted
I would recommend restoring from your previous backup. If you really need some data from those files, you could look at them with hex editor, or linux command "strings somefilename"
