ERROR: Error: Unleash Repository error: Response was not statusCode 2XX, but was 401 about unleash-proxy HOT 2 CLOSED

The error message tells you that the Unleash Proxy was not able to connect to the Unleash API, the API key was not accepted (thus a 401)

The API token looks a bit strange as it follows the old syntax. Which version of unleash-server are you running?

Can you please validate the api enpoint with a simple curl command:

curl http://192.168.122.195:4242/api/client/features  -H "Authorization: 728934fd84bb7926ecd5367602fe5efc3550c66778b210d978576254"

from unleash-proxy.

hey thanks,

i dropped the extra stuff at the start of the token. i presumed it was superfluous.
The format as you said, was the older format? adding in the '..' before the token has resolved it.

docker run -e UNLEASH_PROXY_SECRETS=some-secret -e UNLEASH_URL=http://192.168.122.195:4242/api/ -e UNLEASH_API_TOKEN=:.6f5282f4683ff2c3c628db0fe629312e273a92fecf49c824ae4c092e -p 3000:3000 unleashorg/unleash-proxy
