I used the [GitHub - 6Ministers/taiga-io-docker-compose-for-projects: About Fast set-up Taiga Kanban for Business with Docker Compose](https://github.com/6Ministers/taiga-io-docker-compose-for-projects) to setup a host the other day. It didn’t work right out of the box, so I added ngnix as a webserver and somehow got it working.

Today, I am retracing my steps and stumpling around.

I see this error. On the URL. Docker is not showing any errors.

I think my error is coming from ngnix. I don’t appear to be able to connect the proxy. Any suggestions ?

`I see 426 codes in my ngnix logs.`

I figured this out. The moderator can delete this one.
