WebUI comes up but is frozen

[cinbunnaps]

Hi! I've been using this container for a WHILE now but am having to migrate to a different computer. I have been having the hardest time trying to troubleshoot this and I believe it's 100% user error so I'd love some help.

Here is my docker-compose.yml:

version: `3`

I use nginx proxy manager to access this remotely within the same local network. upon wiping the folder and a clean container I'm able to open the webUI, add a torrent, then it says it successfully added it but then goes frozen entirely. But the page itself isn't frozen, the buttons line up like normal when you try to click them, just nothing happens. I have my .env file that has my acccount number under the username and an m under the password like documentation has instructed.

Let me know if I left anything helpful out! I've tried tweaking my compose file as well as the container itself but I'm just not coming out with the right setup.

Try a different browser first, then check the browser logs

For the life of me I COULD NOT figure out what was messing it up but I tried it in Brave (vs my usual Firefox) and it worked so I tried ticking off all my add-ons and with everything off it still wouldn't work. I cleared my cache/cookies. I ended up having to reset the whole browser but now it's fine even with all the same extensions! Thank you for the suggestion! I have no idea why, I don't think I'd changed anything. Oh well up and working! Thank you again!
