     - **Server URL**: The URL used to connect to your InfluxDB 3 server.
       - Select the protocol to use (http or https).
       - Provide the host and, if necessary, the port.
+        - _If connecting to a local, non-Docker instance, use `host.docker.internal`._ For more information about host.docker.internal, see the [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/features/networking).

       We recommend using an InfluxDB 3 _admin_ token.
