Common issues
Windows
Frontend fails with errors
- ensure none of the directories leading to your talemate directory have special characters in them, this can cause issues with the frontend. so no
(1)in the directory name.
Docker
Docker has created config.yaml directory
If you do not copy the example config to config.yaml before running docker compose up docker will create a config directory in the root of the project. This will cause the backend to fail to start.
This happens because we mount the config file directly as a docker volume, and if it does not exist docker will create a directory with the same name.
This will eventually be fixed, for now please make sure to copy the example config file before running the docker compose command.
Configuring WebSocket URL at Runtime
If you need to connect the frontend to a backend running on a different host or port (e.g., behind a reverse proxy), you can configure this at container startup without rebuilding the image.
Set the VITE_TALEMATE_BACKEND_WEBSOCKET_URL environment variable:
# Using docker run
docker run -e VITE_TALEMATE_BACKEND_WEBSOCKET_URL=wss://api.example.com/ws ghcr.io/vegu-ai/talemate:latest
# Using docker-compose.yml
services:
talemate:
environment:
- VITE_TALEMATE_BACKEND_WEBSOCKET_URL=wss://api.example.com/ws
URL Format:
- Use
ws://for unencrypted connections - Use
wss://for SSL/TLS connections (required if behind HTTPS proxy) - Include the
/wspath suffix
If not set, the frontend automatically connects to ws://<current-hostname>:5050/ws.
General
Running behind reverse proxy with SSL
To run Talemate behind a reverse proxy with SSL:
- Configure your reverse proxy to forward WebSocket connections to the backend (port 5050)
- Set the WebSocket URL to use your proxy's public address:
# docker-compose.yml
environment:
- VITE_TALEMATE_BACKEND_WEBSOCKET_URL=wss://your-domain.com/ws
- Ensure your proxy is configured to handle WebSocket upgrades. Example nginx config:
location /ws {
proxy_pass http://talemate:5050/ws;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
