Thanks for your reply! Steps I followed to deploy to Render.com:

In my account I created a new project, in that project created a new web service for the client and a new web service for the server. Configuration with Docker as per below:

GitHub Repo link: https://github.com/OpenSignLabs/OpenSign.git
Branch: tried both Main and Staging
Language: Docker
Client Root Directory: apps/OpenSign/
Server Root Directory: apps/OpenSignServer/
Environmental variables (same for both):

• APP_ID = opensigncaia
• MONGODB_URI = my MongoBD URI
• MASTER_KEY = 12 digit random MasterKey
• SERVER_URL = tried several:

  •   	http://localhost:8080/
    

  •   	http://server:8080/
    

  •   	https://opensign-******.onrender.com/ --this is the web link that I'm given directly for the Server WebService
    

In several instances I used the .env file to copy all variables into my environment, including all variables specified in the installation guide

Things I’ve discovered are that I can’t use any docker-combine on Render, so I’m not sure if the issue is that the 2 containers are not linked. In all instances, the 2 webservices are deployed correctly and running.

I tried to access the SERVER_URL and I get the message “OpenSign Server is running!!!”, while if I try to access the client URL I get the 404 message as in the picture.

Logs on Render are all returning 404, most of them are with message ‘GET “/” returned 404 in 2ms’ everytime I try to access the client url.

Not sure if any other info may be useful for anyone to trace back what I’m doing wrong. For any reference, I was getting the same result when I tried to host it on my RaspberryPI as server on the web via Cloudflare Tunnel and custom domain.

Update on tests I run to try and make it work:

I changed the ports via env variables, specifying 8080 for serverside and 8080 and 3000 for client side. I noticed that the App.js file is inside a folder /src/, I have declared the root directory as apps/OpenSign/

No matter what I try I still keep on getting the error 404, which makes me think that the client url is not pointing at the correct directory where to find the index file.

I noticed in another thread that the log everyone receives is "Run migration on parse-server at http://localhost:8080/app", I only read http://localhost:8080 after changing the port.

I don't really understand what I'm getting wrong
