# Accessing Perplexica over a Network
This guide explains how to access Perplexica over your network using the nginx reverse proxy included in the Docker setup.
## Basic Network Access
Perplexica is automatically accessible from any device on your network:
1. Start Perplexica using Docker Compose:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
2. Find your server's IP address:
- **Windows**: `ipconfig` in Command Prompt
- **macOS**: `ifconfig | grep "inet "` in Terminal
- **Linux**: `ip addr show | grep "inet "` in Terminal
3. Access Perplexica from any device on your network:
```
http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080
```
## Custom Port Configuration
If you need to use a different port instead of the default 8080:
1. Modify the `docker-compose.yaml` file:
```yaml
perplexica:
ports:
- "YOUR_CUSTOM_PORT:8080"
```
2. Restart the containers:
```bash
docker compose down && docker compose up -d
```
## Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues accessing Perplexica over your network:
1. **Firewall Settings**: Ensure port 8080 (or your custom port) is allowed in your firewall
2. **Docker Logs**: Check for any connection issues with `docker logs perplexica`
3. **Network Access**: Make sure your devices are on the same network and can reach the server
