When trying to get the status of a caster using the API, I get a response 403 Forbidden

Hi, I've run the caster locally in docker using a dockerfile to build the image:

FROM ubuntu:22.04 as builder

# Install dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential nano --assume-yes

RUN useradd caster

# Set the working directory
WORKDIR /var/caster

# Get the binary file and move it to the caster directory
ADD yccaster-amd64 /var/caster/yccaster

# Give execute permission to the binary file
RUN chmod +x /var/caster/yccaster

# Generate configuration file
RUN /var/caster/yccaster init

# Create session.log file for save events
RUN touch /var/caster/session.log

# Create session.log file for save logs
RUN touch /var/log/caster.log

# NTRIP caster
EXPOSE 2101
# api interface
EXPOSE 8080

EXPOSE 80

# Start the caster
CMD ["/var/caster/yccaster"]

when running the image, I assign port 8080 for API and 2101 for caster:

then I add an API token for authorized requests

when requesting /health that does not require authorization, I get a status 200 response with an empty body

but when I try to request /status or other requests requiring authorization with a token, I constantly get a response with status 403 Forbidden

In fact, I run the caster in the GCP cloud in the kubernetes infrastructure, but I get the same error there, after which I tried to understand what the problem is locally. Maybe you can help me, thanks in advance!

I want to add that at the same time the caster itself works, I publish the antenna data and receive them by the client.

@dmytro-hryn ok, I'll check it in a few days and get back to you

Hello @ilyavialkov, I was able to use the API locally, the address must be written in the configuration file like:

if write "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" does not work.

I will try to set up the API in GCP kubernetes, at the moment I am getting an error:

maybe Load Balancing is not configured correctly.
I'll let you know when I'm done.

Cool. Thank you for the investigation. Did not try it in Kub.
I'm very intriguing on your project. Can you share what are you building?

@ilyavialkov i'm working on a project for a european company that makes robots that cut grass, initially we use caster BKG as a base but faced some problems with its operation and lack of necessary support. And now we are looking for an alternative, if everything suits us, we will buy a license and cooperate.
