Hello every one,  
Using ubuntu 16.04-server i execute this commande:  
docker run -d --restart=always -p 8080:8080 rancher/server

Now rancher server is ruuning as a docker container on port **8080** ,

I want to access to rancher server by putting **myhostname:8080** using my local navigator (local machine(windows))

I also execute those cmds:  
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT  
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

But now i can’t access to rancher/server UI

dicker logs \<my\_container\>  
I got those types of errors:

- level=info msg=“Downloading key from http:// localhost:8081/v1/scripts/api.crt”
- level=fatal msg=“Error getting config.” error=“Invalid key content”
- level=fatal msg=“Unable to create event router” error=“Get http:/ /localhost:8080/v2-beta: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: getsockopt: connection refused”

STARTUP FAILED [830573] ms
- level=fatal msg=“Error getting config.” error=“Invalid key content”

What can i do for all those errors , it’s weird because i’m just running this container:  
docker ps :  
5394a37e021b rancher/server:stable “/usr/bin/entry /u…” About an hour ago Up 10 minutes 3306/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8080-\>8080/tcp focused\_gates

In case anyone else comes across this. I fixed it by

> docker stop rancher-agent  
> docker start rancher-server  
> docker start rancher-agent
