I have just installed a fresh instance of Directus using the provided docker compose ([this](https://pastes.dev/l3xZmHjRb4) is my modifed compose) but I am not able to access it whatsoever. The logs do not indicate any error or emit any warnings. I have tried with Traefik v3 (seen in the config above), NGinX Proxy Manager and with a directly exposed port, but each time either the page never renders and I just see a title bar saying “Loading…” or the reverse proxy bails with a 504 Gateway timeout. I have looked through a handful of GitHub issues/discussions both about Directus not loading and traefik/reverse-proxy-specific issues and applied/tried things mentioned there, but to no avail. Does anybody have an idea what is going on or is experiencing the same thing? Cheers ---

It basically looked good to me so I asked ChatGPT and it feels confident that `traefik.port` might be the issue. ![Snag_1d43ff2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/directus/original/1X/8a92378325ed2b5d83e41b04a591f52837943738.png)
