I am running solace using docker with the below command. But I am not able to connect to websocket from TryMe!..  
ws://localhost:8080  
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 55555:55555 --shm-size=1g --env username\_admin\_globalaccesslevel=admin --env username\_admin\_password=admin --name=solace solace/solace-pubsub-standard

Hi @anish,  
Port 8080 is the PS+ Manager port. Try-Me uses Solace web messaging that would be on port 8008.  
I’d recommend re-creating your docker container exposing more ports. Checkout [Step 2 here](https://solace.com/products/event-broker/software/getting-started/) defines the ports.

```bash
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 55555:55555 -p:8008:8008 -p:1883:1883 -p:8000:8000 -p:5672:5672 -p:9000:9000 -p:2222:2222 --shm-size=2g --env username_admin_globalaccesslevel=admin --env username_admin_password=admin --name=solace solace/solace-pubsub-standard

```
