I’m having a similar issue. I changed to localhost:5000 and I get a “TypeError:NetworkError” the Alan Bonnici writeup… They lost me at QEMU. I have to set up a vm and virtualize an environment to demo this?

I realized port 5000 is blocked by some other service. I got it working by changing the ports

 
MAIN_URL: "http://localhost:8080" # Base URL for Postiz
FRONTEND_URL: "http://localhost:8080" # URL for the frontend
NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL: "http://localhost:8080/api" # Backend API URL

 
MAIN_URL: "http://localhost:8080" # Base URL for Postiz
FRONTEND_URL: "http://localhost:8080" # URL for the frontend
NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL: "http://localhost:8080/api" # Backend API URL

and Ports to

 ports:
      - 8080:5000

 ports:
      - 8080:5000

I agree with the blog article it's confusing for a simple local machine setup.

You don’t need to create a virtual machine for this to work ( although I’ll recommend it ) If you don’t need a machine just follow instructions starting at the docker install It’s basically copy and paste

Ran into this issue today on MacOS. Port 5000 is used by default for Airplay receiver. If you really want to bind to port 5000 on the host machine, you can turn off Airplay receiver via System Settings. Or use an alternative port as proposed above.
