[BUG] "Waiting for Stream"

[viking2010]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Now, this may not be a bug, but a user error on my part so please accept my apologies in advance if it is down to me!! I have searched the other issues, including closed issues, but the ones that mentioned a black screen have been closed off now due to inactivity but they didn't say if they'd been resolved.

I upgraded from v138.0.3351.83-1-ls92 to the latest version and noticed that Edge now no longer starts. I get the words "Waiting for Stream" at the bottom of the screen (as shown in the screen shot)

Expected Behavior

Expected that Edge would open but it doesn't.

Steps To Reproduce

Load from http://{localServerIP}:3000 and then "Waiting for Stream" appears at the bottom of the window, but no Edge browser.

I did noticed that it now says in the change logs that "HTTPS NOW REQUIRED". Is there anything different I should do with the portainer stack config to allow for this? If I try and go to https://{myserver}:3000 I get "The connection for this site is not secure" and "{myServerIP} sent an invalid response".

Environment

- OS:Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- How docker service was installed: can't recall it was so long ago, sorry.

CPU architecture

x86-64

Ok, so I've just found a couple of things in the documentation here: https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-msedge/#docker-compose-recommended-click-here-for-more-info

Reading over this currently to see what I need to change. Sorry, this is likely more user error than a bug!! Happy to be told that though!! :-D

[viking2010]

Why is it always the case you find the solution after posting a bug report!! All sorted now, added port 3001 in the stack editor and all now working. Sorry to have bothered you and I will close this ticket.
