Broken Webserver?

[JZHeadley]

I've tried to build and run the code but I can't seem to get to a working webserver. Whenever I run the built beehive executable and navigate to the webpage, I get the following errors:

OPTIONS http://localhost:8181/v1/hives net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED Error while processing route: hives.all The adapter operation was aborted Error The adapter operation was aborted

I've tried to make it work with pretty much all of the config options as well as with docker both building the image myself and using the prebuilt image.

Centos 7.3.1611 go version 1.8.3 selinux is enable but I disabled it for a bit and tried yet still got the same errors.

Any ideas?

[muesli]

Maybe your localhost resolves to an IPv6 address only? Try http://127.0.0.1:8181/ instead.

[JZHeadley]

Its a headless server so that was a bit difficult to try but I connected with firefox through X over ssh and still nothing.

[muesli]

That sounds a bit over-complicated ;-) Why don't you just expose Beehive's web interface via a reverse proxy (e.g. nginx)? Or run an SSH-tunnel to the headless server?

[muesli]

You can also expose the web interface publicly by binding it to a different address. See the command line args -bind and -canonicalurl.

[JZHeadley]

Command run: ./beehive -bind "192.168.8.116:8181" Output after trying to connect

Still get the same errors as above.

[muesli]

Well, certainly looks like Beehive is behaving fine and responding to requests. This must be a local issue, sorry. I'd probably investigate your firewall.

[muesli]

Note that I'm of course happy to still help you debug this further, but from what I can tell by the logs, this issue really is out of Beehive's domain.

[HenryQW]

@muesli I'm running into this very same issue.

Chrome console produces the same error

OPTIONS http://localhost:8181/v1/hives net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

And Beehive container seems to be fine

@JZHeadley were you able to solve it?

[muesli]

@WangQiru: It seems to serve something. What address do you enter in your browser to access Beehive? What cli-args do you start Beehive with?

[HenryQW]

@muesli I spun up a test instance via docker, so it should be

ENTRYPOINT ["beehive", "-config", "/conf/beehive.conf", "-bind", "0.0.0.0:8181"]

I also tried https://github.com/muesli/beehive/pull/179 (CANONICAL_URL env parameter) but it gives the same error.

[muesli]

@WangQiru: Two things I'd try in that case:

1. Access Beehive with http://127.0.0.1:8181 - see my first comment in this thread.

or

2. Add an extra parameter to the Dockerfile: "-canonicalurl", "http://your_host_ip:8181". Replace your_host_ip with the IP of the machine hosting the docker container. Now try to access the admin interface with http://your_host_ip:8181 in your browser, too.

Let me know if that helps.

[HenryQW]

@muesli Solution 2 finally worked... there is a delay due to my corporate firewall and squid proxy.

[muesli]

@WangQiru That would definitely be a bug, yes. It's a bit odd, because I can't reproduce it without docker, but it sounds like the canonicalurl default gets overwritten with an empty string somehow. I'll come up with a fix.

Thanks for reporting & investigating the cause!

[HenryQW]

Using docker, I also noticed that beehive doesn’t write into beehive.conf, which means any bees created will not be saved, a browser tab refresh will clear everything. It’s probably just a permission issue.

[LennyPenny]

I'm still experiencing the problems outlined here - shouldn't #179 be merged?
