Running temporal proxy server in docker

Community Support

Hi Team,

  1. I am using the grpc-proxy for temporal server sample and creating a docker image of the proxy server.
    samples-go/grpc-proxy at main · temporalio/samples-go · GitHub

  2. I am launching temporal server using docker locally.

  3. Starting a temporal worker (samples-go/grpc-proxy/worker at main · temporalio/samples-go · GitHub) that connects to the proxy server fails with the error (samples-go/main.go at main · temporalio/samples-go · GitHub):

Unable to create client failed reaching server: last connection error: connection error: desc = "error reading server preface: EOF"
exit status 1

Checks done:
From inside container, I am able to connect to Temporal server on host via grpcurl.

[temporal@272f49ab960d /]$ grpcurl -plaintext -d '{"service": "temporal.api.workflowservice.v1.WorkflowService"}' host.docker.internal:7233 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check
{
  "status": "SERVING"
}

From host, I am able to connect on the temporal proxy on port:

% telnet 127.0.0.1 55003
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

On host:

Any guidance on what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Have you removed the loopback IP binding here?

127.0.0.1 won’t work inside of a container. For more context: Cannot connect to Go GRPC server running in local Docker container - Stack Overflow

Thanks @taonic .
Removing the loopback ip binding fixed this issue.
