Question

Unable to access app deployed on Dokku in a droplet

Posted January 29, 2021 1.5k views
DockerDokkuDeploymentDigitalOcean Droplets

I’ve deployed an app on Dokku using DigitalOcean’s droplet, but unfortunately I’m unable to access, I cannot make any requests to my app from outiside the dokku.

Here is the app’s server logs, the app server is running on port 5000(inside a docker container, I guess?)

2021-01-29T15:55:01.790215291Z app[web.1]: Use Ctrl-C to stop

Here is my port mappings for the app

Proxy port map:                http:80:5000
Proxy type:                    nginx

Here is docker ps -a output

and the ufw firewall has permitted http traffic.

Everytime I make a hit to the droplet IP I get the connection refused error.

Hi there @coderx,

What is the error that you get when you try to visit the app in your browser? As far as I can see from the docker ps output, the service is not exposing any ports.

I could suggest running the following command to check if your service is listening on the correct port on your host:

  • sudo netstat -plant

Feel free to share the output here!
Regards,
Bobby

    Yeah it has to do something with docker container not exposing it’s port. How can I make the docker container expose it’s port automatically on deployment?

    I ran that command sudo netstat -plant and it gave the following output

    In the browser I get an Connection refused error.

      Hi there @coderx,

      As far as I can see you have Nginx running but you also have a Docker proxy setup for port 80. This could be causing the problem. Have you tried using only the Docker proxy instead of the Nginx service?

      Regards,
      Bobby

        no, I haven’t tried that because I don’t know how to do that. I havent’t set up the nginx service or dokku proxy explicitly. They both have been set up by default.
        It would be helpful if you could tell me how to disable nginx to see what happens.

        I followed this deployment tutorial which apparently succeeds in the video but is causing problem for me.

        To me the problem is with the container not exposing its port 5000
        Here’s the output of docker ps

        CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                       COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES

        and when I run docker port b711e9b95929 5000, it spits out

        Error: No public port '5000/tcp' published for b711e9b95929

        I tried to disable nginx-vhosts plugin by running dokku plugin:disable nginx-vhosts and it threw error saying that Cannot disable a core plugin

    Hi @bobbyiliev I’m not running those containers explicitly, they are created and run by dokku itself when I push code for deployment. So, I’m not aware of how and where I would need to specify the expose command, as I have no Dockerfile which get run on deployment(don’t know whether it is even possible or not).
    On the other hand, it is not possible to expose port of a container that is already running. Therefore, I will first have to stop the container and run it manually by myself, also manually stopping the container breaks things, moreover for running that container again; I can’t possibly know what args were passed to that container when Dokku ran it on deployment (like the docker volumes etc).
