Can you check what the API response is when you set the url? (CTRL+Shift+I and then "network")

Here a Screenshot from my desktop app. I experience the same issue.
(Replaced the domain name with ---- after the request of couse)

It worked perfect until the update where backend and frontend were moved into one docker container.
Frontend works well in Firefox aswell as android app.

Did you enable cors?

@kolaente commented on GitHub (Mar 1, 2024): Did you enable [cors](https://vikunja.io/docs/config-options/#cors)?

Let me check. It stopped working, when I updated from the seperate frontend/backend containers to the new integrated one.

I am playing around with cors and port settings a bit, maybe the issue lies there.

This is the exact step in the code where it stops.

The network error from the screenshot you sent before said "CORS Error". That's a pretty strong indication that you didn't enable CORS. Does it work if you enable it?

No, but I think the issue may lie within reverse proxy and ports settings.
Only strange that Vikunja App connects without any issue.

In the dev tools, what's the value of the access-control-allow-origin header in the response of the request to /info?

Hey! I have the same issue. I have a self-hosted instance running and working fine in the browser but when I try to setup desktop app I cannot seem to get it to connect. I tried my instance and the official one with both having same access problem.

I have the same issue. I have a self-hosted instance running and working fine in the browser and in the android app, but when I try to setup desktop app I cannot seem to get it to connect. I tried my instance (flatpak and .RPM) and the official one with both having same access problem.
In the dev tools, there is this error message:
Pasted image

I tried to create the file in the server folder where the Vinkunja container is installed, but I was unsuccessful in activating this cors.

cors:
enable: true
origins:
- "*"

I put it this way, as suggested in the documentation, am I doing something wrong?

Hello @kolaente, thank you for reply. I found the answer in a post in the vikunja community, here.

The fix was to add VIKUNJA_CORS_ENABLE: true to the docker compose environment.

After this, had to take the dockers down, and put them up again.
