Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/109

When I try to import I always get the same error and the import fails.

For example:
docker run --rm ghcr.io/mohamedbassem/hoarder-cli:release --api-key --server-addr http://localhost:3000 bookmarks add --link "https://www.google.com"

Gives:
Error: TRPCClientError: Unexpected token '<', "<html>
<h"... is not valid JSON

Hoping it's something I'm doing that is wrong. Thanks!

Hi, this is a quirk of docker. If you want to import to localhost, the localhost of the container is different than that of the host. Adding --net=host should solve it I guess. I think you can also get it to work by replacing localhost with host.docker.internal so --server-addr http://host.docker.internal:3000/

EDIT: to clarify, the --net=host should be added after docker run not as an argument to the CLI.
