Hi @Felger, good to hear that you figured it out.

There is another thread that explains how to set up the TrayIcon to connect to the service:

Duplicati Tray icon & --no-hosted-server / Running as a service

Hi Guys, Good morning, I’ve migrated a duplicati tray/server install to a service. The new service is running fine on localhost:8200 No matter what I add to the tray icons startup path it’s still trying to connect and starting server on 8300 “C:\Program Files\Duplicati 2\Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe” --hosturl=http://localhost:8200 --no-hosted-server The additional CLI commands do nothing, I’ve tried them either way around and each without the other, it’s still opening a connection to 8300 h…

Thoughts : to prevent this predictable issue, the Windows Installer should offer to register the service right from the installation and the link from the tray icon should then target the port 8200 accordingly.

My plan for this is to offer the “Install as service” option in the MSI, and then configure it to work during the installation. I have not prioritized it yet, because I want to get the web-server out of the service first, so you do not have to run the webserver with elevated privileges.
