I have a Nodejs server app with Express and Socket.io (Ubuntu 18.04). It always worked fine until nGinx (1.14) reverse proxy entered the scene. The nginx server is running on a different machine of Node.js apps, each app on it's own vm, inside the same network.
Server and Client on version 2.1.1.
The nginx server is responsible for multiple app redirects.
I tried several configuration combinations but nothing works.
Here what I've tried (examples for "company1"):
default.conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d
location /company1-srv/ {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://172.16.0.25:51001/;
}
Then in the client code I connect using "path" options because socket.io misplace it's library path.
// companySrv and URL is actually returned by another service (following code is for illustrative purposes):
let companyUrl = 'https://api.myserver.com/company1-srv';
let companySrv = '/company1-srv';
socket(companyUrl, {
path: companySrv + '/socket.io/'
});
I also tried to remove the path option and configured a specific /location for the socket.io stuff (for testing purposes):
location /socket.io/ {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://172.16.0.25:51001/socket.io/;
}
Nothing worked.
It connects, but does'n emits anything. And after a short while (a minute or so), it becomes unavailable, raising the "disconnect" (reason: transport close) client event.
Server:
const io = require('socket.io')(https || http, {
transports: ['polling', 'websocket'],
allowUpgrades: true,
pingInterval: 60000*60*24,
pingTimeout: 60000*60*24
});
I also tried to edit the nginx.conf and write the "upstream socket_nodes {..." and use the proxy_pass http://socket_nodes. It didn't make sense as I need a exact redirect depending on the company, but for the sake of tests I did, but it doesn't work as well.
What I need to do?
Thanks
We as well use socket.io
with reverse-proxy from ngnix
. I can share a little bit of our setup, maybe it helps to rule things out.

# Server Blocks
##
# DOMAINEXAMPLE A
server {
server_name exampleA.domain.com;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://192.168.21.105:5050;
}
}
# DOMAINEXAMPLE B
server {
server_name exampleB.domain.com;
location /api {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://192.168.21.106:5050;
}
}
}
The most interesting part here are probably the server blocks
# DOMAINEXAMPLE A
server {
server_name exampleA.domain.com;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://192.168.21.105:5050;
}
}
# DOMAINEXAMPLE B
server {
server_name exampleB.domain.com;
location /api {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://192.168.21.106:5050;
}
}
For location /
at http://192.168.21.105:5050
we have a NodeJS process running, including the setup for socket.io
const express = require('express');
const http = require('http');
const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const io = require('socket.io')(server);
For location /api
at http://192.168.21.106:5050
we have another NodeJS process running, including a slightly different setup for socket.io
const express = require('express');
const http = require('http');
const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const io = require('socket.io')(server, {path: '/api/socket.io'});
In both cases socket.io works perfectly fine for us
What we actually do on the server side here is creating a namespace for socket.io, like
const io= require('socket.io')(server, {path: '/api/socket.io'});
const nsp = io.of('/api/frontend');
and then on the client side, connect to it like
import io from 'socket.io-client'
const socket = io('https://exampleB.domain.com/api/frontend', {path: "/api/socket.io"});
