Hey Michel!!! Thanks for the reply, do I need to remove or stop services that were created from the other setups — will this break that Docker Pull ? looks like I still have ```auto 7a9545f524c2 dgraph/dgraph:v21.03.0 ``` and also ```auto ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE PORTS igdu6ivpr6rs dgraph_alpha1 replicated 0/1 dgraph/dgraph:latest *:8080->8080/tcp, *:9080->9080/tcp jly1hy5wni9q dgraph_alpha2 replicated 0/1 dgraph/dgraph:latest *:8081->8081/tcp, *:9081->9081/tcp 2tdcjhsoagdf dgraph_alpha3 replicated 0/1 dgraph/dgraph:latest *:8082->8082/tcp, *:9082->9082/tcp nkw6kiu2p2jb dgraph_zero replicated 0/1 dgraph/dgraph:latest *:5080->5080/tcp, *:6080->6080/tcp ``` ---

Hey @Blackbear710 , what helps is to know how did you run it. Show me the commands. Or the YAML, or better, the commands in the YAML. ---

I got the Ratel Image running — just can’t get the UI up correctly. Probably something Docker/Network related ---

> [@Blackbear710](#): > > just can’t get the UI up correctly. Probably something Docker/Network related Do you mean you can’t connect to the cluster? check the IP. Docker Swarm works differently. Maybe you need to hit the host IP, or the virtual machine. The address alpha1:8080 won’t work outside of Docker context. As it is an internal services. And Ratel UI is running in your Browser, besides its service is in the container. ---

Just adding on to this in case this is not obvious. You will have to expose an endpoint of Dgraph Alpha HTTP(S) service. On a production scenario, this should never be accessible, so you would then need to go through an SSH jump host or a VPN to access a private internal-facing LB that hits the Dgraph Alpha service. The Ratel is only a client, so it can run on a laptop, or if desired, from the private network as well. If you can run curl [https://alpha.example.com:8080/health](https://alpha.example.com:8080/health) (replace FQDN to IP or hostname you are using) works fine, then the same address will work with Ratel’s connection configuration. ---

Gotta wait 5 Hours for my next reply, wompp womppp @MichelDiz correct, I am sure it is some type of Docker / Network Issue I’m kind of getting thrown into the fire but that’s alright, I don’t really know much about connecting to containers outside of the container, if that makes sense I got " Why are they using Docker Swarm for this!!! See if you can get it working with Docker, if not, find a way to not use Docker Swarm" It seems like I have it deployed, just networking /docker dependencies that I am not familiar with I assume it has nothing to do with yalls YAML/Apps (I’m gonna add the Ratel YAML and remove the deploy constraints since its not aws) Classic case of, its not you its me (but this time its actually just me) 🤣 ---

Also, there is a config that you should pay attention - this one [https://dgraph.io/docs/deploy/dgraph-administration/#whitelisting-admin-operations](https://dgraph.io/docs/deploy/dgraph-administration/#whitelisting-admin-operations) When you working with different networks you have to explicitly warn Dgraph about them. ---

thanks for popping in Joaquin, I agree with this statement fully. I will just need to do some more research on configuring endpoints for docker/https so I am able to connect to Ratel UI ---
