I'm having trouble getting ActionCable hooked up in my prod environment, and related questions haven't had a working solution. I'm using an nginx+puma setup with Rails 6.1.3.2 on Ubuntu 20.04. I have confirmed that redis-server
is running on port 6379
, and that Rails is running as production.
Here's what I'm getting in my logs:
I, [2021-05-25T22:47:25.335711 #72559] INFO -- : [5d1a85f7-0102-4d25-bd4e-d81355b846ee] Started GET "/cable" for 74.111.15.223 at 2021-05-25 22:47:25 +0000I, [2021-05-25T22:47:25.336283 #72559] INFO -- : [5d1a85f7-0102-4d25-bd4e-d81355b846ee] Started GET "/cable/"[non-WebSocket] for 74.111.15.223 at 2021-05-25 22:47:25 +0000E, [2021-05-25T22:47:25.336344 #72559] ERROR -- : [5d1a85f7-0102-4d25-bd4e-d81355b846ee] Failed to upgrade to WebSocket (REQUEST_METHOD: GET, HTTP_CONNECTION: close, HTTP_UPGRADE: )I, [2021-05-25T22:47:25.336377 #72559] INFO -- : [5d1a85f7-0102-4d25-bd4e-d81355b846ee] Finished "/cable/"[non-WebSocket] for 74.111.15.223 at 2021-05-25 22:47:25 +0000
This happens every few seconds. You can see matching output in the browser console:
For one, I'm pretty sure that I need to add some sections to my nginx site config, such as a /cable
section, but I haven't figured out the correct settings. Here's my current config:
server { root /home/rails/myapp/current/public; server_name myapp.com; index index.htm index.html; location ~ /.well-known { allow all; } location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; } # needed to allow serving of assets and other public files location ~ ^/(assets|packs|graphs)/ { gzip_static on; expires 1y; add_header Cache-Control public; add_header Last-Modified ""; add_header ETag ""; } listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/myapp.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/myapp.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot}server { if ($host = myapp.com) { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } # managed by Certbot listen 80; server_name myapp.com; return 404; # managed by Certbot}
Here's my config/cable.yml
:
development: adapter: asynctest: adapter: testproduction: adapter: redis url: <%= ENV.fetch("REDIS_URL") { "redis://localhost:6379/1" } %> channel_prefix: myapp_production
In config/environments/production.rb
, I've left these lines commented out:
# Mount Action Cable outside main process or domain. # config.action_cable.mount_path = nil # config.action_cable.url = 'wss://example.com/cable' # config.action_cable.allowed_request_origins = [ 'http://example.com', /http:\/\/example.*/ ]
I have not mounted ActionCable manually in my routes or anything. This is as standard of a setup as you can get. I'm thinking the answer lies centrally in a correct nginx configuration, but I don't know what it should be. Perhaps there are Rails config settings that are needed too, though. I don't remember having to change any when deploying with passenger, but maybe puma is a different story.
Update
I also noticed that a lot of the proposed solutions in other questions, like this one, seem to reference a .sock
file in tmp/sockets/
. My sockets/
directory is empty, though. Web server's running fine besides ActionCable though.
Update #2
I also noticed that changing the config.action_cable.url
to something like ws://myapp.com
instead of wss://myapp.com
has no effect even after restarting Rails. The browser console errors still say its trying to connect to wss://myapp.com
. Possibly due to how I'm set up to force redirect HTTP to HTTPS. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
