failed to connect to 'http://172.18.0.4:8000/' a local Docker InvenTree

[MikeLemo1]

I'm just starting to play with and looking into InvenTree and Docker and I'm running the plugin config wizard interactively but am unable to connect to my docker hosted inventree instance which I'm able to connect to the browser with
http://172.18.0.4:8000/
OR
http://inventree.localhost/
But the wizard accept erroring:

error: failed to connect to 'http://172.18.0.4:8000/' with 'Could not connect to InvenTree server'

the ip was fetched with
docker ps -q | xargs -n 1 docker inspect --format '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}} {{ .Name }}' | sed 's/ \// /'

if it's relevant.

What am I doing wrong

Hm not sure tbh, the error comes directly from the inventree-python module, so I could only imagine that it's some kind of version mismatch between your InvenTree version and it's version.

I actually managed to connect to that address after all maybe the last digit was 5 but the interface behaved a bit differently than in http://inventree.localhost/ where the ip variant was a little buggier
And I still didn't figure out what is the address to connect to the postsql database from a db manager i.e. nvim-dbee.

Are you talking about the InvenTree web interface or inventree-part-import here?

[MikeLemo1]

The web interface with the ip numbers vs of the wildcard addres but I want to connect to the main database of postgresql inventree with an external db manager to search and adjust parameters. so I want to know what http url scheme to use and how to construct it.
