Connection issues when using localhost as the host in the config #144

Closed shah-mcc closed 1 year ago

shah-mcc commented 1 year ago

Description

Typesense js seems to have issues connecting to the server when using localhost as the host in the configuration.

Steps to reproduce

Install typesense 0.23.1 .deb file on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, Keep all config values as default. Install typesense-js from npm. Try to connect to the server using "host": "localhost".

Expected Behavior

Connection should happen.

Actual Behavior

Get this error message instead. ECONNREFUSED connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:8108

Additional info

When in the terminal curl http://localhost:8108/health returns {"ok":true}

To get it working I had to edit /etc/typesense/typesense-server.ini and change the api-address to the public IP of my server and use the same public IP address in my typsense-js configuration as the host. Earlier I could use the default typesense-server.ini and localhost in the js config.

Metadata

Typesense Version: 0.23.1

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

node: 18.12.1

It looks like localhost resolves to ::1 on your computer, which is ipv6. But Typesense only supports ipv4. So you would have to use 127.0.0.1 as your hostname to connect to Typesense running locally.
