I deployed tagspaces (192.168.1.3:8181) and s3proxy (192.168.1.3:8080) in podman, but when I try to connect s3proxy from tagspaces using webui i get error “Error loading folder: Network Failure”.  
If I go to s3 bucket I see access denied (expected, but still shows s3 is up and accessible)  
Here is my connection settings:

Have you followed the steps in this tutorial?

Especially the part with starting the s3proxy docker with the S3PROXY\_CORS\_ALLOW\_ALL=“true” parameter?

Yes, I used this exact manual, only edited ports

I managed to make it work with docker

Please, explain! I am attempting with docker and when I put in the s3proxy info into the Tagspaces web page (run via docker) it will say “Connected to Object Storage” but I will not be able to view files. They are both on the same docker network

I bypassed it exposing s3proxy port, not using docker network IP. Like so:

tagspaces: [http://192.168.1.3:5000](http://192.168.1.3:5000)  
s3proxy: [http://192.168.1.3:9000](http://192.168.1.3:9000)

Using docker network IP dont work in my case too

A network error can occur when you try to connect s3proxy running without SSL certificate, from TagSpaces Web with SSL certificate.
