Deployment succeed but address not be reachable by fly-proxy

1

Hello,
So I am testing to deploy a Nextjs app in docker but on the second one I get this classic error:

WARNING The app is not listening on the expected address and will not be reachable by fly-proxy.
You can fix this by configuring your app to listen on the following addresses:
  - 0.0.0.0:3000
Found these processes inside the machine with open listening sockets:
  PROCESS                  | ADDRESSES                             
---------------------------*---------------------------------------
  next-router-wo           | [::1]:3000, [::]:33043                
  /.fly/hallpass           | [fdaa:1:c0e0:a7b:169:9f19:3d07:2]:22  
  next-render-worker-app   | [::1]:44261                           
  next-render-worker-pages | [::1]:39227

The fly.toml setting is the same

[http_service]
  internal_port = 3000
  force_https = true
  auto_stop_machines = true
  auto_start_machines = true
  min_machines_running = 0
  processes = ["app"]

and I expose PORT 3000 in the Dockerfile, but somehow on the 1st app I successfully listen to localhost:3000 like in the log below

however the second one failed as expected with the error:

2023-08-26T21:35:22.070 proxy[d8d9e16c2d5118] cdg [error] instance refused connection. is your app listening on 0.0.0.0:3000? make sure it is not only listening on 127.0.0.1 (hint: look at your startup logs, servers often print the address they are listening on)

i am still new using the flyctl so I wonder how can i fix this issue ? could it be memory issue ? But I don’t see any OOM error message. Or there is something I am missing to set ?

What that means is that you only will accept connections from localhost (i.e., the same machine as your app is running on), and not from the internet. This needs to be 0.0.0.0 (or [::]) to accept connections from the internet.

Would it be possible to change server.js to listen to one of these two addresses instead of localhost?

Oh Ok I see… i was wondering how to set this since I am not using a custom server.js file in Nextjs app, looks like the issue is coming from Nextjs, since in the next.config file is set to output: standalone, it listen only to localhost as you mention, so in the Dockerfile I try to change the hostname like this:

ENV HOSTNAME 0.0.0.0

and now it finally work… Thank you!
