Description

I installed the desktop app in manjaro (arch)

my server is stable debian, and i have caddy reverse proxy on http and httpsa port (since it provides acme)

but the desktop software tries to connect to the standard port 3456, instead of my 443, even if explicitly declared, using 'https://todo-list.local:443' ((it's my internal domain name, and it works from web)

I would like vikunja to try to look for the standard https port too, like jellyfin does

moreover when you connect you don't know if it has started, as there is no output

Vikunja Version

my server (Vikunja api version v0.24.4 Built with go1.23.1)

Browser and version

No response

Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site?

Does it work if you use one of Vikunja's built packages? https://dl.vikunja.io/desktop/0.24.4

I just downloaded the app image , and I have the same problem

error log:
Could not find or use Vikunja installation at "todo-list.local:443". Please check if the url has the correct format and you can reach it when accessing it directly and try again.

but using the opnsense log (firewall) I noticed that it always asks on port 3456

Are you sure it is the port that's the issue here? I was able to connect to a Vikunja instance running on a non-standard port without problems.

Did you enable cors on your instance?

yes it worked, I read all the documentation before writing but that part is missing sorry for the inconvenience.

I would like to add 1 detail that I noticed

  • I would like to add that if you do not specify https vikunja does not try to connect (it would be useful if it was added automatically if it is not specified)

No worries, I've added the specific part on the page I linked to after your issue. It was mentioned elsewhere before, but rather hard to find.

The problem here is that browsers won't allow connecting between different protocols, and thus this won't work in most cases - except the electron app. Will take a look if there's a way to solve this.

Closing this as solved now, since the original issue is solved, please ping or open a new issue if you have any other problems.
