i am running meltano locally with docker, i added airflow orchestrator, invoked the webserver and scheduler, but can't get the airflow ui to show on localhost:8080. not sure how to troubleshoot this. any ideas?

Hi, @mike_planting. I assume you already found the guide here, yes? Do you see any helpful output from

meltano invoke airflow webserver

?

Ya

Okay, good to know. Within docker, you’ll need to explicitly map ports to the host and sometimes you have to experiment (depending on your OS) between

localhost

,

0.0.0.0

, and the loopback

127.0. 0.1

. Have you mapped the ports using the

-p

docker run option and/or in the docker-compose file? And if so, can you tell me which OS you are using, since that might be relevant to debugging which endpoint to connect on.

macOS BigSure, v 11.4

Sure thing. Are you using

docker run

or

docker-compose up

?

ducker run via the walktrhrough on https://meltano.com/

I see. Yeah, those commands on the homepage will kick off the

elt

job but they don’t expose the ports or open the ui, unfortunately.

docker run \
  --volume $(pwd)/output:/project/output \
  -p 8080:8080 -p 5000:5000 \
  meltano-demo-project:dev \
  elt tap-gitlab target-jsonl --job_id=gitlab-to-jsonl

Before specifying the name of the image to run, you can add one or more

-p

arguments to map the docker container’s ports to the host laptop. https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#publish-or-expose-port--p---expose

ok, i am trying out the above recommendations
