Question
Converting Nginx from standard uwsgi/django to include Django channels websockets
Hi, I’ve spent quite a bit of time on this problem, and would be incredibly grateful for a solution. I have redis-server running on the server at port 6379, and the Nginx config at sites-available currently looks like this:
server {
server_name mattalexkaye.com www.mattalexkaye.com;
location /static {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2901/static;
proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
proxy_redirect off;
}
location / {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:/home/projects/kaye-tech/socket/kaye_tech.sock;
}
location /wss/ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6379;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mattalexkaye.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mattalexkaye.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = www.mattalexkaye.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = mattalexkaye.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
server_name mattalexkaye.com www.mattalexkaye.com;
listen 80;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
Meanwhile, I’ve followed the tutorial on setting up a Django chat room, which works locally, but haven’t been able to get it to work for the server version. My settings.py file looks like this:
ASGI_APPLICATION = "kaye_tech.routing.application"
CHANNEL_LAYERS = {
'default': {
'BACKEND': 'channels_redis.core.RedisChannelLayer',
'CONFIG': {
"hosts": [('localhost', 6379)],
},
},
}
and in the relevant frontend page the Javascript has the following:
var chatSocket = new WebSocket(
"wss://mattalexkaye.com" + "/ws/cards/" + roomName + "/"
);
I’ve quite possibly made some basic mistakes (though it’s not that I haven’t been refreshing Nginx), as I’m new to the whole websocket thing, but any help would be incredible
Forgot to say, currently the error message is: “WebSocket connection to ‘wss://mattalexkaye.com/ws/cards/room/’ failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 404”
Where you able to fix this issue? I’m facing the same problem.
