hi guys,  
i have a postgresql server called ServerB  
i installed pmm in docker in another instance called ServerA.&nbsp;  
both servers are ubuntu.  
  
I am stuck here. I can confirm i can telnet the port and connectivity is fine. This is on Google cloud instances.  
  
root@ServerB:~# pmm-admin config --server-insecure-ssl --server ServerA:443 --bind-address ServerB&nbsp;–client-address ServerB&nbsp;–server-password admin --server-user adminUnable to connect to PMM server by address: ServerA:443  
Even though the server is reachable it does not look to be PMM server.Check if the configured address is correct. Unexpected response code: 404 (Not Found)  
any ideas what can i do to get things kicking?  
  
thanks.

If you go to ServerA from ServerB do you See PMM Login Screen ?  
This message means is whatever listening on port 443 on ServerA is not PMM Server&nbsp; - might be this port was busy when you spinned up docker container ?&nbsp;

Are you using the same PMM 2.x version? pmm-admin does not provide --bind-address flag in 2.x.

you are correct here. The pmm percona server is on pmm2 and the client is pmm1. but i installed it with the percona repo&nbsp;

i made the mistake of installing pmm-client instead of pmm2-client. now it works. thanks!
