Hi there, I have installed NocoDB following the instructions in the docs on my shared hosting server via node.js in a sub-folder which is reachable directly via a subdomain. Starting the app seems to be working fine, the screenshot looks good. However, it tells me to access the app via [http://localhost:8080/dashboard](http://localhost:8080/dashboard), which can’t be the case since this is hosted on a shared hosting server online. When navigating to where NocoDB should be accessible (the subdomain [https://nocodb.data-viz.net:8080](https://nocodb.data-viz.net:8080) which points to the sub-folder on the webserver), I get an “unable to connect” error message. I can access the index.js file via the web browser but this only outputs the plaintext code. I have tried to edit the path in the .env file and restarted the app, but nothing changed, or might have done it wrong. What am I doing wrong? How can I get NocoDB to run? For a bit more background info, this is how pm2 describes the NocoDB process that runs on the server: ![Screenshot 2023-05-03 at 13.02.08](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/nocodb/original/1X/f4fc320dec39a7f8dbab66372d3e874a8509579f.png) Any help would be much appreciated!
