Getting 502:Bad Gateway on initial start up of NetAlertX.

[mkothawala]

I have installed the add-on for NetAlertX and get the 502: Bad Gateway error when I try to start the web ui. See below for logs.

Permissions fixed for read-write paths. Please restart the container as user

I have kept the configuration to defaults, there is no instruction to change it to anything different. One thing to note, is that I am using the Wireguard add-on and have configured it as my DNS server.

i have the same Problem , he changed somethings , but the Instruction is very bad and not possible :

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🚨 CRITICAL SECURITY ALERT: NetAlertX is running as ROOT (UID 0)! 🚨
This configuration bypasses all built-in security hardening measures.
You've granted a network monitoring application unrestricted access to
your host system. A successful compromise here could jeopardize your
entire infrastructure.
IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED: Switch to the dedicated 'netalertx' user:
* Remove any 'user:' directive specifying UID 0 from docker-compose.yml or
* switch to the default USER in the image (20211:20211)
IMPORTANT: This corrective mode automatically adjusts ownership of
/data/db and /data/config directories to the netalertx user, ensuring
proper operation in subsequent runs.
Remember: Never operate security-critical tools as root unless you're
actively trying to get pwned.

The new image is hardened which makes it more complex to use. I’ll see if this can be fixed
