Backend never becomes available on port 9000 after fresh Docker quickstart (ECONNREFUSED / ETIMEDOUT) #6933

Description

@princeakpabio8-prog

Hi team,

I’m trying Archestra for the first time on a fresh Windows installation using Docker Desktop.

The frontend starts successfully on http://localhost:3000/, but it never connects to the backend because the backend on localhost:9000 never becomes available.

Environment

Windows 11
Docker Desktop v4.84.0
Fresh installation
Quickstart mode
No previous Archestra installation

Steps to reproduce

Install Docker Desktop.
Run the Quickstart command from the documentation.
Wait for initialization to finish.
Open http://localhost:3000/.

Expected behavior

The frontend should connect to the backend automatically and complete the setup.

Actual behavior

The frontend stays on “Connecting…” and eventually fails.

The container is reported as healthy, but requests to the backend fail repeatedly with: ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9000
ETIMEDOUT ::1:9000
Failed to proxy http://localhost:9000/...

I also checked the running containers: docker ps

The platform container is marked healthy, PostgreSQL starts successfully, but the backend never appears to accept connections on port 9000.

Diagnostics collected

Attachments

Docker logs (docker logs jolly_kowalevski --tail 300) showing repeated ECONNREFUSED and ETIMEDOUT errors while attempting to reach localhost:9000.
Terminal screenshot of the container logs.

I wasn’t able to provide a “Connecting…” screenshot because the backend never became reachable. The frontend loaded on port 3000, but every request to the backend on port 9000 failed with ECONNREFUSED or ETIMEDOUT.
