Hi there @zaouaouizakaria,
Do you get any errors when you add your domain name? I could suggest checking your logs with the
docker logs container_idcommand.Also in order to use your domain name instead of your IP address, you would need to configure your DNS so that your A record points to the IP address of your server.
After the DNS change, it can take up to 24-48 hours for the DNS to propagate over the Globe.
