Can't access Netbox after deploying with Portainer on Proxmox

Question

I've deployed netbox via portainer on a VM running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server on Proxmox. The containers are up and running with no errors, ports open, but I'm not able to connect to the web interface. What am I missing here? Appreciate any help :)

Sorry for the late answer...

The netbox container by linuxserver is not meant to have its internal port changed from the default 8000. Change $DOCKER_PORT back to 8000 and things should work.

See https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-netbox/blob/master/Dockerfile#L67 and https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-netbox/blob/master/root/defaults/uwsgi.ini#L2 for more details...
