Hello Team, I was able to setup dgraph server on a local machine and I have successfully opened and mapped following ports: 8000 → 8181 8080 → 8282 I am able to connect to my server on \:8181 where the selection for version of ratel pops up. On selecting latest version, it guides me to connection screen. Here I am unable to make successful connection when I provide \:8282 as dgraph server url. Can you please help me understand how the connectivity can be resolved. ---

Give us more context. What version are you using? what commands have you used to create the cluster with docker? What error do you get from Ratel? Open the Developer Tools and check the errors that appear there.
