[webserver]

# If webserver should be enabled - EnvVar: WEBSERVER\_ENABLED

Hi @sivasankari_s,

The Edge Workflow is not being triggered as you have not explicitly [exposed the web server port in your docker command](https://docs.losant.com/edge-compute/edge-agent-usage/#webserver-http-request-trigger--http-response-node). Note `-p` below:

```auto
docker run -d --restart always --name docs-agent \
  -v /var/lib/losant-edge-agent/data:/data \
  -v /var/lib/losant-edge-agent/config.toml:/etc/losant/losant-edge-agent-config.toml \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  losant/edge-agent

```

Documentation for connecting a container to a network can be found [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#network-settings).

Thanks!  
Julia

Hi julia,  
Thank you very much for your prompt reply.  
I did the docker command what you mentioned.  
please find my screenshots and suggest me what i missed because http trigger node not triggerd.

step 1  
 ![configtomlex](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/c/c9a4f9457fa05c2ed0c8b4916b205486e8c1bba4.png)  
step 2  
 ![dockergateway](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/c/c0898d2fbfda5cea4b461a58467a02991e9f094e.png)  
step 3:  
 ![edgeworkflow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/4/4ebb5606b256149782b0ea3f25fbcb19ac8ba16a.png)

step 4:

 ![postmanresponse](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/d/d0f05c37cae61d00b382e6de3083554405488cf9.png)

according to the above steps i try to post some data from postman to this [http://127.0.0.1:8080](http://127.0.0.1:8080).  
when I sent the data to the above url the edge work flow has to trigger.But http trigger node not trigger.  
I got “could not get any response” message in postman.

please let me know the steps for the above requirement.

Thanks,  
Sivasankari S

Hi @sivasankari_s,

I would recommend not changing the default web server address, and using [http://localhost](http://localhost) instead. Then testing again with Postman to see if a response comes through.

Thanks!

Hi julia ,  
Thank you very much for your reply.  
I did following steps for http post in edge workflow but workflow not triggered.please let me know  
if i missed anything.

Step 1:  
 ![configtoml](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/4/461331ede43adbe46c3bfbc6b1cca1006ef754b5.png)  
step 2:

 ![docker](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/3/32b4dedfb337fc6cf75c90403bde257677bd54c7.png)  
step 3:  
 ![edgeworkflow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/4/4ebb5606b256149782b0ea3f25fbcb19ac8ba16a.png)  
step 4:  
 ![postmanres](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/0/06cf850e65447ada8b0abe601271adb456df7946.png)

in the above steps I did for Posting data through POSTMAN but edgeworkflow not Triggerd.  
I have tried 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in Config.toml file.  
and I have tried wifi ip in config.toml file but workflow not triggerd.

Thanks ,
