Hi,  
I’ve deployed OpenVidu image (openvidu/openvidu-dev:2.23.0) on Docker Desktop on Windows 11 according to the following guide: [https://docs.openvidu.io/en/stable/deployment/#openvidu-for-development](https://docs.openvidu.io/en/stable/deployment/#openvidu-for-development).

Now, even though the console says

_OpenVidu is ready!_  
_OpenVidu Server URL: [http://localhost:4443/](http://localhost:4443/)_  
_OpenVidu Dashboard: [http://localhost:4443/dashboard](http://localhost:4443/dashboard)_

If I try to nagivate via browser (Firefox/Edge) to any of the URLs above I get no answer. I’ve tried sending requests with POSTMAN as well, e.g. GET [https://localhost:4443/openvidu/api/sessions](https://localhost:4443/openvidu/api/sessions) with the basic auth specified here [https://docs.openvidu.io/en/stable/reference-docs/REST-API/](https://docs.openvidu.io/en/stable/reference-docs/REST-API/), but I get a Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4443 answer.

Please note I can successfully run the tutorial docker (_docker/getting-started_) and I can access its webpage _[http://localhost/tutorial/](http://localhost/tutorial/)_.

What am I doing wrong?

**EDIT: it turned out openvidu worked correctly if the docker was launched by command line. When launching from Docker Desktop I was not providing with the correct arguments (like the port openvidu should be binding to)**. Thus the problem is solved.

Thanks,  
Alessandro

Also, I see in your description of the problem that OpenVidu is running on HTTP (no HTTPS), but you are trying to communicate with it using HTTPS!

The GET should be to `http://localhost:4443/openvidu/api/sessions`, not to `https://localhost:4443/openvidu/api/sessions`
