    I'm sure I am not configuring something correctly but if not then I'm happy to raise a PR to the docs so that others do not make the same mistake.

    Is this a fresh or existing install?

    Thank you @j0nnymoe this indeed a fast response. I did try it using

    - APP_URL=http://192.168.7.147:8080

    with the same result

    Are you re-creating/deploying the container when you make this change? Also you should be replacing the /path/to part of the /config volume as it's a placeholder.

    Check the application log at /config/log/laravel.log for the specifics of the 500 error.

    Just a note, when using compose, if you change your compose file, you need to down then up -d to recreate

    noted. Yes I have been deleting the last image and checking with docker ps -a each time. No luck so far. This is the current config I am using

    ports:

    restart: unless-stopped

    I can see the nginx logs are 192.168.7.147 - - [18/Apr/2026:13:45:04 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 500 6431 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/147.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" 192.168.7.147 - - [18/Apr/2026:13:45:04 +0000] "GET /fonts/inter/inter.css HTTP/1.1" 404 6672 "http://192.168.7.147:8080/" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/147.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

    So I am hitting the container and I get the error image in the browser.

    Are you providing a valid app key?

    Need to see laravel logs

    Yes, I used a valid key , but there are no logs being generated in the laravel log file at all. I will re-check shortly and provide more information.

    I have the same issue, although I have installed it as a docker inside Unraid.
    Log is the same as OP; I also get Server Error 500 when I try to open the gui.

    99% sure it's an issue with your key, that's the only time I'm able to replicate this error when the key is invalid.

    Thanks for the reply! So, I tried to generate a new key again. My procedure this time was to launch the docker container for Speedtest tracker from Unraid, then open the console there.

    I put this command:
    echo "base64:$(openssl rand -base64 32 2>/dev/null)"

    And I got this key:
    base64:wPYJWg2dde/GVIIyToREMOVINGSOMECHARACTERSJUSTINCASE=

    Then I went ahead, stopped the container, and clicked EDIT. I added this key (including Base64) in the APP_KEY field and updated.

    This is the docker command that is shown:

    
docker run
  -d
  --name='speedtest-tracker'
  --net='bridge'
  --pids-limit 2048
  -e TZ="Europe/Paris"

    It seems to be working, however if I try to launch the web ui...

    Looks like there’s a problem with this site

The server at 192.168.178.57:1429 sent back an error: 500 Internal Server Error
What can you do about it?

    Check to make sure you’ve typed the website address correctly.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

    I tried launching the webui from the docker manager, I tried launching it from different browsers, but still no dice :(
