Hi Kasinath,

Did you follow step 1 in the docker setup guide where you map the testorg.tyk.docker domain to your Docker instance IP address?

Cheers,
Martin

Hi Kasinath,

The docker QuickStart is really only meant for a local machine.

If you want to run it with a real domain name (from the outside), first off you’ll need to run it on a host that has an IP visible from the Internet (so nothing behind a firewall or NAT).

Then, get a domain and set the A record to your host IP.

Then modify the QuickStart compose yaml to set the environment variable called DOMAINALIAS to your domain so that when it bootstraps the installation it sets up the nginx templates properly.

You should then be able to run it out on the Internet :wink:

Cheers,
Martin
