Docker: Empty response from server

Question

I am having trouble to connect docker container, server returns empty response however the configuration seems to be correct.

When i use docker-compose up command everything seems fine and working however i am getting empty response from server.

I double checked the port mappings however i couldnt notice anything.

Here is the compose file

    version: '3'

    services: 
      authapi:
        build:
          dockerfile: ./docker/Dockerfile.dev

I have solved the problem by binding the application to 0.0.0.0 and everything started to work.

I hope it would be useful anybody who are looking for solution for this kind of issue.

How did you bind it to 0.0.0.0 exactly?

Halil Irmak Over a year ago

I was using Nodejs and express so i have bind the express application to 0.0.0.0

Hartley Brody Over a year ago

How you bind to 0.0.0.0 will depend on what type of application server you're running. For me, I was runnning python's gunicorn which defaults to binding to 127.0.0.1:8000. I just had to add a flag -b 0.0.0.0:8000 when running the gunicorn command for it to bind to that address.

I had the same issue, when using nodejs fastify. Had to bind 0.0.0.0. Fastify.listen(3000, '0.0.0.0', err => {

Andrew G Over a year ago

For NodeJS Express I start app with express().listen('8090', '0.0.0.0');

I had same problem but binding to 0.0.0.0 didn't help, this answer helped me saying that container port should be higher than 1024 because of privileges. I was using default port 80, after exposing 8080 and binding 0.0.0.0 it now started to work

I encountered the same problem using Dockerize GatsbyJS. As Halil Irmak's comment, the issue was resolved by binding the application to 0.0.0.0. On my case

yarn develop -H 0.0.0.0 -p 8000

I encountered this problem and solved it.

The problem is that, although my HOST config is right, I still receive ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE.

Here's my solution:

The first time you start strapi with docker is really slow. So if you have done everything right, then just wait for the page to start. I waited 23 mins at the first time...

If you are wondering whether it's slow or something you did is wrong, you can try this:

find strapi container id: run docker ps
enter the container: run docker exec -it <container id> bash

(if you can enter the container, maybe you have done everything right.)
check if the port is open: run echo > /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/1337

When it says 'bash: /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/1337: Connection refused', it means your strapi service is not ready yet.

if the command returns nothing, then strapi service is ready. Check http://127.0.0.1:1337/admin , you will find what you want.

In my case using node:alpine on dockerfile was the problem for me, just changing the image to the Node.js

It turns out the alpine version is not official. The drawback though is image-size.

I was able to make my API talk normally to my DB passing the DB's container name on the Postgres host variable, and setting up a network in the docker-compose file.

By the way, my setup was Nestjs, TypeORM, Postgres and Docker.
