Homarr not working at all as of 9/24/25
Homarr was working perfect until mid-day of yesterday, now no matter what it wont load homarr, keep getting 500 error, I tried spinning it up with my yaml and doing the docker run way, every single service works except homarr. Looking ovwr the logs in portainer, it keeps showing homarr is trying to ping a redis at 127.0.0.1, and then I used AI to help me troubleshoot and it told me to add redis to my yaml and still could not get homarr to work, spent 6hrs on this yesterday, using the latest homarr image. Any help would be appreciated i tried it with putting it behind my proxy and removing the proxy and just declaring the ports to see if i could acces that way and also could not. I also already have the DNS entries in my Unifi OS and in npm, all services work except this one. I redacted information on the yaml.

Your file system permissions and UID / GUID are incorrect. Please see https://homarr.dev/docs/next/advanced/running-as-different-user/ .
Since Homarr also interacts with the Docker Socket, the setup is a bit more complicated than for other containers.

By default the container is running with user root and group root.
