What’s the command you are executing and what type of node are you uploading the DAR to?

One clarification: you mentioned the JSON API but [@digitalasset/daml-ledger@0.10.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@digitalasset/daml-ledger/v/0.10.0) are the Ledger API bindings for Node.js. Which one are you using?

Hi Stefano,

Oh yes its my mistake, you are correct its a ledger API bindings and 0.10.0 is the version i am using.

Are you sure your ledger is running on port 8080? The default port for Sandbox and DAML-on-SQL is 6865.

Not that I’m aware of, but perhaps you can help us. How should we go about reproducing your problem? Is your code available somewhere? Can you list the commands you run to go from no Daml-related component running all the way to encountering your issue? Share the exact logs you get when the issue happens?

Solved [in the other thread](https://discuss.daml.com/t/grpciotimeout-with-daml-deploy-when-running-within-a-docker-container/2539), It was the --address=0.0.0.0 thingy.
