Synology nas Audiobookshelf "refused to connect". Looking for help.

Hi there clever peeps,

I'm trying to install Audiobookshelf on my 220+ Synology nas.

I've followed the steps here: https://neellik.com/how-to-install-audiobookshelf-on-your-synology-nas-with-docker/

Tried running the task as root and also as my user name on the nas. Same results when I try to access the audiobookshelf page.

When I try to access Audiobookshelf from my pc or my tablet at my Synology local IP which is 192.168.1.107:13378 it comes up with error "refused to connect".

My UID and GID appear to be correct. I've checked them by SSH'ing in to my nas and typed "id".

Any ideas please?

probably the windows forum or linux forum might be better for help.
possibly : https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/241#issuecomment-1036732329

or

Socket failed to connect · Issue #241 · advplyr/audiobookshelf

Fresh install using docker-compose and apache2. I can access site and login, but everything I try to do is greeted with a Socket Failed to Connect error. Please advise. Thanks

Thank you. I'll have a rootle around that site now.

I persevered. All my fault (no surprise there). Noobs, eh? Pffft!

. I was incorrectly entering the path for audiobooks. Once I correctly enabled email reporting I could then see the error notifications. and correct the errors. It is up and running now,
Many thanks
