Connection to NodeBB lost, config.json is correct and ./nodebb logs show nothing

matsjs

Hi

I'm running a NodeBB docker image on Google Cloud. Every once in a while the "Looks like your connection to NodeBB was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect" message pops up. As far as I can tell, the site still functions perfectly.

Should the config.json url field point to an ip address or can it point to urls like "https://www.whatever.com"? I've also checked the NodeBB logs, which are empty.

Any help is much appreciated.

config.json url field should be the same as the url accessing the forum.

Sorry if I was vague - it is the same as the url accessing the forum, I've just seen other people using the IP address of the forum instead. Any idea what the issue could be?

The usual culprit for socket.io issues is usually not having sticky sessions. Socket.io requires sticky sessions so requests from a client always go to the same backends.
