Need Help Resolving 504 Error in /api/templates Docker Setup on Localhost

Checklist

• I have searched budibase discussions and github issues to check if my issue already exists

Hosting

• Self
  • Method: docker single image
  • Budibase Version: 2.29.25

Describe the bug
After setting up Budibase via Docker Compose and creating a root user, the initial login works. However, the first screen takes a long time to load and eventually stalls on a request to http://localhost:8080/api/templates, which returns a 504 Gateway Timeout error. This prevents any further interaction with the application on localhost.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set up Budibase using Docker Compose as per the official documentation.

version: "3"

services:
  budibase:
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: budibase/budibase:2.29.25
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
    volumes:
      - budibase_data:/data

volumes:
  budibase_data:
    driver: local

2. Access Budibase on http://localhost:8080 and create a root user.
3. Log in with the newly created root user.
4. Attempt to access the main dashboard at http://localhost:8080/builder/portal/apps.
5. Observe that the application loads indefinitely and finally fails with a 504 error in GET http://localhost:8080/api/templates.

Expected behavior
Expected the application to load successfully without any delays or gateway errors, allowing for normal usage and exploration of Budibase features locally.

Screenshots
Attached is a screenshot showing the stalled loading screen and network errors.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux pop-os 6.9.3-76060903-generic
• Browser chrome
• Version 127.0.6533.72 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional context
I have tried multiple versions of the Budibase Docker image and different browsers, but all exhibit the same issue. I'm looking for any guidance on how to resolve this or alternative setup configurations that might bypass this problem.

@mike12345567, I don't think this is just a discussion; it's a bug in a replicable use case based on the official documentation.

[mike12345567]

Hi @hunsche - i've just pulled the 2.29.25 budibase/budibase image and tried the same configuration, which started up as expected for me.

When an issues appears to be environment specific we tend to keep these to discussions as it is not an issue we can directly replicate.

Just to confirm - the instance you're running this single image on has access to the internet? This is required for Budibase to function.

It is also worth checking that your docker environment is up to date - it looks like there is some sort of network issue occurring.

You are absolutely right @mike12345567. I ran

service docker restart

and everything started working normally. Thank you very much!
