Impossible to connect a client to a remote socket on AWS












3














I m facing an issue with an fresh dev with socket.io



I got a socket.io server that is running on a AWS EC2 instance. It's a single instance with a public (55.55.55.55) and a private ip address ( 10.0.1.1 ) on port 10000



I start the server, and then i go to a website i created on another EC2 instance which is in another VPC ( 10.5.1.1/16 ) and another public ip address 100.100.100.100



This is the code i run on this instance, the client side of the websocket ( display a simple chat test )



<script>
const display_panel = document.getElementById('ws');
const number_of_lines_displayed = document.getElementById('info_lines');

let socket = io('http://55.55.55.55:10000');

let line_counter = 0;

socket.on('test', (msg) => {

if(line_counter < {{ max_lines }})
{
let span = document.createElement('span');
let text = document.createTextNode(msg);
let newline = document.createElement('br');

span.appendChild(text);
display_panel.insertBefore(newline, display_panel.firstChild);
display_panel.insertBefore(span, display_panel.firstChild);

number_of_lines_displayed.innerHTML = 'line(s): ' + line_counter++;
}
});
</script>


Then , i got a connection timeout.



On the server side, i ve start the server trying all the possible solution , but i was not able to connect in all the situation




  • 10.0.1.1:10000

  • 127.0.0.1:10000

  • 0.0.0.0:10000

  • 55.55.55.55:10000


in this last case, the server give me this error



 Bugsnag:  Encountered an uncaught error, terminating…

1|test | at startup (bootstrap_node.js:191:16)
1|test | at bootstrap_node.js:612:3


I don't see how i can make this thing working. As i m trying to reach public ip, i should not need a bridge between the VPC ( would be my favourite solution )



Netstat give me this in all case



Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 10.0.1.1:10000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 18132/test.js


Everything is working fine on local environment, so the code is not the issue, it look mainly to be a network issue.



Thanks for the help !
