Laravel Octane 502 Bad Gateway When Machine Starts

mmccall10 · February 17, 2024, 3:34pm

I am trying to run a Laravel app with octane (roadrunner in this case). I am using the default config and docker setup from fly launch. It all seems to work pretty well however the request that causes a machine to start up always returns a 502 Bad Gateway.

I have the same issue and I think it’s due to Nginx not waiting long enough. It throw a 502 instead of waiting more.

mmccall10 · February 19, 2024, 6:57pm

@AsymetricalData good to know I’m not the only one here. Seems the default fly docker setup might still have a few edge cases. Up to this point I created a new simplified Dockerfile specific to running dunglas/frankenphp and everything seems to be running ok so far outside of what I believe is a livewire ↔ octane issue. Start up is really fast and there is no nginx to worry about.

AsymetricalData · February 20, 2024, 7:33am

Yes because, correct me if I’m wrong, Nginx prefer to respond to the client instead of waiting.
In the other hand, Caddy, shipped with frankenphp, wait more before sending any response.

Hey there!

This does in fact appear to be an issue of Nginx sending a request to Octane before Octane has started.

In fact, it’s sending the request before Octane is able to listen for requests, so increasing timeouts in Nginx doesn’t even work (Nginx just sees it as nothing being there, rather than sometime is listening but not responding in time).

So, I’ve devised a fix that appears to work. It’s not my favorite fix, but I’m asking around to see if there’s something better (not just on X )

Here’s what I did:

Updated the Nginx config with The Fix™
Over-wrote the Nginx config loaded by the Dockerfile

I’ve included a gist bc typing it all out here is very noisy, but you can try this out.

(if that works fine for you, I’ll update flyctl so the fix gets there too. or unless I find some better way to do it)

mmccall10 · February 22, 2024, 2:07am

Correct caddy replaces nginx in this case.

mmccall10 · February 22, 2024, 2:44am

Thanks for looking into this. I can confirm at least from my little test app that the fix, fixed it

LukeDavis · May 23, 2024, 2:34am

Sorry to bring up an old thread… but do we know if this behavior is the same on Nginx Unit? I’ve been having issues with my Octane setup with this exact case, but am debating using Nginx or switching to Nginx Unit.
