Your docker is not running so neither your backend…
If you are not familiar with docker I think you should install Node.js on your machine. Then try to create a new project with the normal onboarding for MySQL (node.js running on your machine).
Best regards,
Morgan
I think your MySQL server is already running.
You have two options here run your backend in a container (using docker) or in your local machine using Node.js.
From your project folder you can run docker-compose up to (re)run the docker.
You need to follow the onboarding indications.
I see you’re on Windows, you use putty to connect to a Ubuntu server and you try to use forest from the the Windows session ?
Where is hosted the Ubuntu server ? On a VM ? On a distant machine ?
Your development environment is only available in localhost (in your Ubuntu in this case) so you need to be on this session in your Ubuntu to be able to test the application (maybe you don’t have any access to it 
).
The ubuntu server is a virtual server.
How can I open a session on ubuntu to test an application?
Hello @MarinaLevy
So if I understand it well, you’ve just setup a new project and try to connect to it, the fact is that our app is trying to reach your localhost on port 3310 but the fact is that you launched your server on a virtual server so it’s not accessing it directly.
Could you please try to launch it from your Powershell, it should responds as expected 
I would love to launch it from my Powershell, but how do I do it?
And what are the meanings of using Powershell? I’ve choose the Forest Admin because it is an internet platform, so I can use it like from my phone, not only from PC.
Ok @MarinaLevy, I’ve just setup a project using docker + windows so I will be able to guide you through the different steps in order to make your Forestadmin works.
A quick recap of what we are going to achieve is run a docker image on your computer rather than a virtual, this image will be the link between your database and Forest Admin.
First I’ll have to install docker on your windows machine, following these instructions. Then install git bash which is a terminal just as powershell is but has the same command as Ubuntu terminal and works almost the same way. Once you’ve done both previous step, we are ready to jump into the Forest Admin installation !
Here we should be at this step
Launch your freshly installed Git Bash terminal and copy paste the instructions you have on your onboarding screens. When running the docker run command you will have to prefix it adding winpty + docker run etc… Your backend should be up and running.
NB ( 
): You will only be able to access your forestadmin through your machine having docker running. If you want to be able to use it from any computer and any place you would have to deploy your project to production.
Let me know if it works !
Can you explain me, please, what it means?
Hello @MarinaLevy,
Yes, currently your are trying to install a development environment on your computer which will run on your localhost. It means that your computer will play the role of a server and responds to any request from your forest admin server. But as long as your are the only one who can request your computer (because it is responding on localhost and not a custom endpoint such as www.forestadmin.com ) you won’t be able to access it from everywhere.
In order to access it from everywhere you will need to deploy your server to production I suggest you to read the note we wrote on it.
Hi,
I’m using Windows 8.1 and Docker requires Windows 10.
It seems too much trouble, too much time spent. It supposed to be plug and play.
Thank you for your support, I’m quitting
