Getting "Unable to connect" on first open of homepage and widget URL

[david-christ]

Description

Whenever I open http://mynas:3000, the first load I am getting an "unable to connect" error. If I click "try again", it loads normal.

The same happens when I click any widget in homepage. A new tab opens with the widget's URL, e.g. http://mynas:5001, and it says "unable to connect", then click "try again" and it works.

Based on the information provided, it seems like there might be a network connectivity issue between your browser and the mynas server on the initial request. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check Network Configuration: Ensure that your network is configured correctly and that there are no issues with DNS resolution or IP address conflicts that might be causing the initial connection to fail.

2. Browser Cache and Cookies: Clear your browser's cache and cookies. Sometimes, outdated cache data can cause connectivity issues.

3. Firewall or Security Software: Check if any firewall or security software on your computer or network might be blocking the initial connection to mynas.

4. Homepage Logs: Since you have not provided container logs, it would be helpful to check the logs for any errors that might indicate what is causing the connection issue. You can view the logs by running the following command:

   docker logs homepage
   

   Look for any errors that occur when you try to access http://mynas:3000.

5. Browser Console: Open the browser's developer tools and check the console for any errors when you try to access the page. This can sometimes provide clues as to what might be going wrong.

6. Network Tools: Use network diagnostic tools such as ping, traceroute, or curl to test connectivity to mynas:3000 and mynas:5001. This can help determine if the issue is with the server or the network path to it.

7. Check Homepage Configuration: Verify that the configuration for your widgets in Homepage is correct. Ensure that the URLs are properly formatted and do not have any trailing slashes as mentioned in the troubleshooting documentation.

8. Contact Support: If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out for support using the 'Ask AI' button on the Homepage documentation, opening a GitHub discussion, or checking the #ai-support channel on Discord.

Since you have not provided specific logs or configuration details, these are general troubleshooting steps. If you can provide more detailed information, such as the configuration of your widgets or logs from the Homepage container, it would be easier to pinpoint the issue.

If you need further assistance, please provide additional details or logs.
