[QUESTION] Widget w/ API: Unable to fetch data

Question

Hello,

I am having trouble with the weather widget, I was able to go through the configuration and setup all of my links and sections but I am trying to experiment with the widgets.

I was able to confirm that the basic widgets works (no API), for example the Crypto ones in the sample config.

I signed up for openweather.org and setup the widget in my config. I have tried several different city codes and switched to US just for troubleshooting.

I have tried with both the proxy (useProxy: true) and internal CORS (no proxy). I don't know how to access the logs to find out what the problem is. I only saw references to using the browser console which I do not have much experience with in troubleshooting.

Any idea where I may be able to find the logs, or how to resolve this?

I am running on Docker in Unraid. I have Pihole running on unraid and use PFsense on my router. Openweather.org and api.openweather.org are both pingable from inside the container.
