Keep getting a Proxy task failed:ConnectionRefusedError and then the program crashes

[rszimm]

I keep getting this error in the log: ERROR [__main__] A JuicePass Proxy task failed: ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused

Here's what's in my juicepassproxy.yaml

ENELX_IP: 158.47.1.128
ENELX_PORT: '8051'
ENELX_SERVER: juicenet-udp-prod4-usa.enelx.com
JUICEBOX_ID: <redacted>
LOCAL_IP: 172.16.100.2

Here's what I get when I telnet into my juicebox before I run juiceboxproxy:

Trying 192.168.10.18...
Connected to juicebox1.lan.

Eventually the whole thing craps out (you can see the unhandled exception in the log)

Oh, one other thing. Here's my docker-compose file:

have you tried the telnet inside the container ?

If it does not work the problem is related to your network configuration, my container works without explicit network configuration.

try this :

docker-compose run --rm --entrypoint=/bin/bash juicepassproxy

# and install telnet inside the container to use it later

apt-get install telnet

[rszimm]

I can telnet from within the container.

root@hydra:~/juicepassproxy# docker-compose run --rm --entrypoint=/bin/bash juicepassproxy
Creating juicepassproxy_juicepassproxy_run ... done
root@juicepassproxy:/# telnet juicebox1 2000

I didn't think that was the issue as the logs seem to indicated that it's connecting to the telnet at some point, and after I launch the service I can telnet into the juicebox and see that the settings have changed:

maybe the connection refused is in the connection to ENEL_X server.

Have you tried the ignore_enelx option ?

[rszimm]

Tried that. I've attached the updated logs with the ignore_enelx on and debug logging juicepassproxy.log

[ivanfmartinez]

<Task finished name='mqtt_handler' coro=<JuiceboxMQTTHandler.start() done, defined at /juicepassproxy/juicebox_mqtthandler.py:320> exception=ConnectionRefusedError(111, 'Connection refused')>

You did not have defined the mqtt server, if not defined the default is 127.0.0.1 which will not work on the default docker image.

[rszimm]

that was it. I gave it the external host ip in the config and it still got connection failure. A bit later I discovered that my mqtt server was on the same host, but it was only listening for connections from localhost. Because the docker image sets up a local network between the host and the image it couldn't connect to it.

Reconfiguring the mqtt server to listen on all addresses fixed it.

What a pain.
