Nginx refused to connect and showing bad gateway error.

[razaaliabid87]

I am working on Nginx, Flask_SocketIO, and uWSGI+Gevent. Whenever I run my code in the docker container I always ended up with a 502 Bad Gateway error. But the flask socketio application runs perfectly in development when I don't use Nginx and uWSGI. nginx.conf

server {
    listen 80;
    location /ztest {
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
        proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:8085;
    }
    location /socket.io {
    
        proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:8085/socket.io;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_buffering off;

        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
    }

    location /static/ {
        location ~* \.(js|css)$ {
            expires 30d;
        }
        expires 1h;
        alias /home/%(username)s/my_app_name/static/;
        access_log off;
        log_not_found off;
    }
}

When I build and run nginx and ztest docker containers, I am unable to reach my desired endpoint. Nginx gives me a Bad Gateway error. Here are the logs.

nginx       | 2021/07/19 21:09:10 [error] 23#23: *2 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 172.18.0.1, server: , request: "GET /ztest HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://0.0.0.0:8085/ztest", host: "192.168.10.7"

Please help me to get out of this problem thank you in anticipation.

I seem to have this same problem. I've built a bunch of web apps on this stack in the past and have never gotten this error before...but it's random...most of the time it doesn't work...but occationally it does...I'll do some digging.

Nevertheless, thank you very much for this stack!

I suspect this is caused by the issue raised here: #192

I get this iff I set app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = ... in my flask app.

Edit. Never mind, I checked my flask logs and the app was crashing due to a bug in my python script.
