When you're opening your UI application on browser you're actually downloading it to host (your machine where docker is installed) and then you're making a call to API.

So in your example you need to set url in your UI application's configuration to be: localhost:3000 instead of api:3000

  • localhost:3000 - is to hit an app in a docker container from a host.
  • api:3000 - is to hit an app in a docker container from another docker container.
