What these URLs are

When you create a Compute instance, Hivenet generates a temporary web URL: 
https://<instance-id>-8888.tenants.hivecompute.ai
These are public links to help you access web interfaces like:
  • Jupyter notebooks
  • Fooocus
  • Stable Diffusion UIs
  • Dashboards running on port 8888

​
Why you might see “Bad Gateway”

Seeing a Bad Gateway error usually means one of these:
  • Your app isn’t running yet
  • The app is listening only on ****localhost, not on 0.0.0.0
  • The app is running on the wrong port (e.g. 7865 instead of 8888)
  • HTTPS rate limit issues (rare, but happens with repeated rapid reloads)

​
Quick fixes

Here’s how to troubleshoot:
  1. Make sure your app is up 
    curl http://localhost:8888
    You should see HTML or a JSON response, not a timeout or error.
  2. Check the port Your app must run on port 8888 for the Hivenet URL to work.
  3. Update binding address Some apps default to: 
    127.0.0.1:8888
    You need: 
    0.0.0.0:8888
    Add --host 0.0.0.0 if you’re launching the app from the command line.
  4. Restart the app if needed After changing host or port configs.

​
When in doubt, forward the port yourself

If you can’t get the public link working, use SSH port forwarding: 
ssh -L 8888:localhost:8888 ubuntu@<instance-id>.ssh.hivecompute.ai
Then open http://localhost:8888 in your browser. This is usually more reliable.
