Selfhosted calcom docker is not changing base or webapp URL - Only localhost | Environment variables issues

[pbdco]

I am running calendso in production, using docker. After I start the containers, I access to my CAL website (example: "cal.mydomain.com"), but I notice that the base URL is still http://localhost:3000, even if the .env and docker-compose is set correctly.

Additional comments: running docker exec calendso-docker env I can see the environment variables set correctly in my container. But for some reason, the cal app doesn't recognize them.

Issue example:

• At site admin, I see the base URL is still localhost:
  

• At /event-types, when I copy one of my event links, the link is copied with http://localhost:3000/user/etc....

• I notice there is some kind of issue with env variables, because I still see the license agreement bar event if I have set NEXT_PUBLIC_LICENSE_CONSENT=agree in my .env file.

My .env file:

NEXT_PUBLIC_LICENSE_CONSENT=agree

PS: I am running docker behind a reverse proxy using nginx-proxy.

Had the same problem

Fix:
1.) rename calendso/apps/web/.next to .next_old
2.) yarn build
3.) remove .next_old

Hi @pbdco! 👋 I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have. Let's tackle this together!

It seems like you're encountering an issue with environment variables not being recognized correctly in your Dockerized Cal.com setup. This is a known issue that has been discussed in a similar thread, which was closed without a solution ^[1].

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Ensure Environment Variables are Loaded Correctly: Double-check that your .env file is correctly formatted and that all necessary variables are included. It seems like you've already verified this by running docker exec calendso-docker env.

2. Rebuild the Docker Image: Sometimes, changes in the .env file might not be picked up if the Docker image is not rebuilt. Run docker compose down followed by docker compose up --build to ensure that the environment variables are applied during the build process.

3. Check for Deprecated Variables: The BASE_URL is deprecated and should use WEBAPP_URL, which defaults to NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBAPP_URL. Ensure that NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBAPP_URL is set correctly, as it seems to be in your .env file ^[2].

4. Verify Reverse Proxy Configuration: Since you're using a reverse proxy, ensure that it is correctly configured to forward requests to the Docker container. Check that the VIRTUAL_HOST and LETSENCRYPT_HOST environment variables are set correctly in your docker-compose.yaml.

5. SSL Edge Termination: If your reverse proxy handles SSL termination, you might need to set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 to prevent request rejections, but only if you trust the proxy ^[3].

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider checking the logs for any errors or warnings that might provide more insight into the problem.
