I’m running Dawarich on a Proxmox LXC container (using the community-scripts setup), and I’m suddenly getting a “Blocked hosts” error when trying to access my instance via my domain ([dawarich.xxxxxxxxxx.com](http://dawarich.xxxxxxxxxx.com)).

Here is my setup:

- **Installation:** Native LXC (not using Docker).

- **Environment:** Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie).

- **Issue:** I am receiving the “Blocked hosts: [dawarich.xxxxxxxxx.com](http://dawarich.xxxxxxxxx.com)” error page. I have tried to configure `APPLICATION_HOSTS` in both the `.env` file and even tried adding `RAILS_ALLOWED_HOSTS` directly to my systemd `dawarich.service` file (ExecStart), but the error persists regardless of my configuration changes.

It seems like the application is not picking up these configuration changes or is being restricted elsewhere. I have verified that my Cloudflare Tunnel routing is correct.

Has anyone experienced issues with host authorization on native LXC installs recently, or is there a specific place where this needs to be configured when not using Docker?

I have the same problem. I had installed it using the Proxmox VE Scripts and it worked fine. When I added a tailscale url it was no longer accessable : “ **Access to xxxxxx was denied** You don’t have authorisation to view this page. HTTP ERROR 403”.

Even worse, when I tried to give it a fixed local IP address, that also gave the same error.

I deleted my community-script install, installed Docker and installed Dawarich in Docker, and then it has worked fine since. I don’t know if it has to do with the community-script

Some time has passed, but for everybody coming here from a search like me - in Proxmox VE community scripts, the APPLICATION\_HOSTS is set in /opt/dawarich/.env

I put my domain there (proxied via traefik) and it works fine 🙂
