Attempting to run in Docker about webdash HOT 10 CLOSED

yes, i have verified that all the ports match up and that i am attempting to use webdash through the exposed port. even set up a container with webdash's default port as the exposed port. im thinking that when it breaks it is somehow blocking further processing.

Thanks @ihinckle
I think webdash should be running even though you get this error
Have you tried going to http://localhost:3000 ?
This is failing because we're trying to open the url in your browser but that's failing under docker
Even though I wrapped it with try catch

Let's see with you first if it's working and then I'll figure out how to fix it or suppress the message or even add a --no-open flag

from webdash.

unfortunately i get
'localhost didn’t send any data.'
when i visit the page.

but if i run webdash on the host os in the exact same folder it will work. id love to look into it myself as well but im just starting my trip down the docker rabbit hole.

ah okay
I've never worked with Docker but isn't this about Docker port mapping/forwarding/exposing?

from webdash.

ive double checked the setup for the ports. i can for example host an angular app through that port.

from webdash.

so you're sure it's port 3456 right?
if not, then are you passing -p 8000 for example?

from webdash.

If possible, please try manually commenting out the opn line (and the try catch) in node_modules/webdash/scripts/index.js and see if it works (although I doubt it)

from webdash.

you were correct. commenting those out didnt affect it. it seems to be connecting because the error page is saying 'didn't send any data' instead of couldn't be reached.

this instance i set the docker up to use webdash's default port. i can verify the port is being listened to

if anyone else wants to attempt

using docker

docker pull ubuntu
docker run -it -p 3456:3456 ubuntu
apt update
apt install curl
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.9/install.sh | bash
follow last instructions from nvm to get it added to path in existing terminal
nvm install 8

create a project folder and enter the folder
follow webdash instructions https://webdash.xyz/

from webdash.

okay and you're definitely running node >= 9 right?
