Problem with knowledge base function in Chatwoot self-deployed using Docker Compose

[hei2077]

Describe the bug

I am encountering some issues with the knowledge base functionality on my self-hosted Chatwoot instance. Firstly, despite following the documentation to set up and create a knowledge base, when attempting to access the knowledge base page, I receive the following error:

{
  "error": "Domain: 127.0.0.1 is not registered with us. Please send us an email at support@chatwoot.com with the custom domain name and account API key"
}

I have already set the FRONTEND_URL=https://my-chatwoot-domain.com in the environment variables. Moreover, when adding new knowledge base articles, although the system prompts "Article published successfully" after editing, the articles do not appear in the console upon refreshing the page.

To Reproduce

1. Deploy Chatwoot using Docker Compose according to the official documentation.
2. Set the FRONTEND_URL environment variable to https://my-chatwoot-domain.com in the Docker .env file.
3. Start the Chatwoot instance using Docker Compose.
4. Navigate to the knowledge base section via the admin dashboard.
5. Follow the prompts on the admin dashboard to create a portal (Create Portal).
6. Access the provided knowledge base link (https://my-chatwoot-domain.com/hc/mySlug) as indicated on the admin dashboard.
7. Observe that the page does not display any content, instead showing a JSON error message.

@hei2077 The error shows that 127.0.0.1 is not a valid domain registered in the installation. Are you using a reverse proxy with the docker-compose setup? It seems that some of the headers are not forwarded to the Chatwoot server.

Thank you for your guidance on the reverse proxy settings. Following your advice, I update the configuration and it successfully resolved the issue.
