Getting signed out of GW webpage when hosting multiple Gateways w/Docker

Ignition

Hi, I’m running multiple Gateways with Docker on my local computer. I have each Gateway mapped to unique ports, but I’ve noticed that when I sign into one Gateway webpage, it signs me out of the other. Additionally, I have to sign in twice to gain access to the webpage. Any thoughts on why this could be happening?

I think this changed in 8.3 though?

Actually it may not have changed... I think I was using different hostnames as well as ports when I was in this situation recently.

Looking at that thread, it looks like I need to access the gateways using the internal container IP addresses?

I tried this and it doesn’t seem like those IPs are exposed to my host. I’m new to Docker - do I need to change the network interface setup to expose those?

Using Docker Desktop on Windows, I can’t ping the container IPs from my host.

Supposed to be fixed as of 8.3.2 - independent gateway names even on the same host will get unique cookies.

Haven’t tested it yet on 8.3.2 yet. ive been using multiple chrome profiles for each gateway which does the trick

Turns out the IU videos cover this issue, including the process of adding an entry to the hosts file. I also found that running Docker in Linux allows me to individually access the containers via their IP addresses which is another option.
