Support guidelines

• I've read the support guidelines

I've found a bug and checked that ...

• ... the documentation does not mention anything about my problem
• ... there are no open or closed issues that are related to my problem
• ... it's definitely a Firefly III issue, not me

Description

I've had a look through the open and closed issues and not been able to find one specifically that relates to my issue unless I've overlooked it.

I've installed Firefly inside Portainer as per the install instructions.

The .yml file and .env file have been downloaded and updated as per the directions.

The oAuth client has been created and when I enter the client ID in the data importer tool I get a browser error saying can not load server.

thanks for the reply. I've double checked my env settings as in the photo. Restarted my container and now getting a 404 error.

Mmm, perhaps the port needs to be added as well? I see http://10.0.0.179:89 in your logs.

[theglove44]

that was what was missing. Thanks.

Got the data importer working now.

The only issue users might have is when they use an app only bank such as mono, starling or Chase and you try to do the gocardless import.

You need to try it from your mobile device but I've hit this snag once I've approved access in my bank app
