691265c1-a324-4034-8288-642c7ab38ebc I am using amqp://<user>:<password>@rabbitmq.railway.internal:5672 from another service.

Brody•5mo ago

what specific error do you get?

Muijf•5mo ago

Just error. NestJS doesn't seem to give much more But it works locally. I am sure it just doesn't connect

Brody•5mo ago

send it anyway? lol

Muijf•5mo ago

error

url: "amqp://<user>:<password>@rabbitmq.railway.internal:5672"

error

url: "amqp://<user>:<password>@rabbitmq.railway.internal:5672"

Brody•5mo ago

oh wow you weren't kidding when you said "just error"

Muijf•5mo ago

yup

Brody•5mo ago

I assume you can connect just fine when on railway if you where to swap to the public url?

Muijf•5mo ago

If I open a tcp proxy and use that? I can try

Brody•5mo ago

yes please do

Muijf•5mo ago

Deploying right now, 1 sec No I can't use the public uri either apparently

Brody•5mo ago

same vague error?

Muijf•5mo ago

Yes

Brody•5mo ago

now you say it works locally, that means you are running rabbitmq locally too?

Muijf•5mo ago

Yes Using a dev container and docker compose with the same docker image for rabbitmq and environment variables too

Brody•5mo ago

same image running locally as you run on railway?

Muijf•5mo ago

Yes

Brody•5mo ago

can you run your app locally but connect to the rabbitmq hosted on railway?

Muijf•5mo ago

I'll get back to you on that in 15 mins, quick break

Brody•5mo ago

sounds good

Muijf•5mo ago

Doesn't seem to work either.. I can't seem to figure out why

Brody•5mo ago

same error?

Muijf•5mo ago

Yes Tried everything, not sure

Brody•5mo ago

can you send the logs from your rabbitmq service? https://bookmarklets.up.railway.app/log-downloader/

Muijf•5mo ago

deployment_logs_rabb...

Brody•5mo ago

its in the active state right?

Muijf•5mo ago

yes

Brody•5mo ago

are you deploying from an image or a repo, i know you said image but people have said image before when they meant repo

Muijf•5mo ago

Repo > Dockerfile

Brody•5mo ago

yeah gotcha, not a direct image deploy

Muijf•5mo ago

yes

Brody•5mo ago

are you using the rabbitmq template?

Muijf•5mo ago

I do kinda, but only kept the base image. I removed the quickstart

Brody•5mo ago

show me how you run rabbitmq locally?

Muijf•5mo ago

Dockerfile

FROM rabbitmq:management-alpine

ARG RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_VHOST

COPY rabbitmq.conf /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf

FROM rabbitmq:management-alpine

ARG RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_VHOST

COPY rabbitmq.conf /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf

same as with the template. docker-compose.yml

  rabbitmq:
    build: ../infrastructure/rabbitmq
    environment:
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER: app
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS: app
    ports:
      - 15672:15672
    networks:
      - app

  rabbitmq:
    build: ../infrastructure/rabbitmq
    environment:
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER: app
      RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS: app
    ports:
      - 15672:15672
    networks:
      - app

run within a dev container

Brody•5mo ago

show me your in code client?

Muijf•5mo ago

        InternalAccountsModule.forRootAsync({
            useFactory: (configService: ConfigService) => ({
                rabbitMqUrl: configService.getOrThrow<string>('RABBITMQ_URL'),
            }),
            inject: [ConfigService],
        }),

        InternalAccountsModule.forRootAsync({
            useFactory: (configService: ConfigService) => ({
                rabbitMqUrl: configService.getOrThrow<string>('RABBITMQ_URL'),
            }),
            inject: [ConfigService],
        }),

    constructor(@Inject(MODULE_OPTIONS_TOKEN) options: AccountsModuleOptions) {
        this.client = ClientProxyFactory.create({
            transport: Transport.RMQ,
            options: {
                urls: [options.rabbitMqUrl],
                queue: 'accounts',
                noAck: true,
            },
        })
    }

    constructor(@Inject(MODULE_OPTIONS_TOKEN) options: AccountsModuleOptions) {
        this.client = ClientProxyFactory.create({
            transport: Transport.RMQ,
            options: {
                urls: [options.rabbitMqUrl],
                queue: 'accounts',
                noAck: true,
            },
        })
    }

make sure to set ENABLE_ALPINE_PRIVATE_NETWORKING=TRUE in environment variables if you are using alpine image so you can access internal services

Brody•5mo ago

they cant even connect to the public url of rabbitmq locally

Muijf•5mo ago

only variable is that I am using Bun. But I can connect locally using bun runtime so it shouldn't really make a difference. It could though So that variable should be set in the rabbitmq env?

Brody•5mo ago

you can connect to rabbitmq thats hosted on railway from your locally running app?

Muijf•5mo ago

I can't I can connect to my local rabbitmq using bun runtime

chirag•5mo ago

i dont know how tcp proxy works but i think you also need to make sure the service listens on ipv6 address too

Brody•5mo ago

nope the public tcp proxy is ipv4

chirag•5mo ago

the internal one is ipv6

Brody•5mo ago

i am aware, but they cant use either

chirag•5mo ago

if you are using template then i dont think you need to change anything make sure to wait >100ms before connecting because private network takes time to be available

Brody•5mo ago

they cant connect to it locally, please read through this thread

Muijf•5mo ago

I am. It's been up for hours locally within the internal network is what I want. But yes, I can't even connect locally using a public tcp tunnel

Brody•5mo ago

update: i can

Brody•5mo ago

Muijf•5mo ago

So it must be bun

Brody•5mo ago

thats what im thinking too but use this url amqp://brody:brody@monorail.proxy.rlwy.net:59808 to run a connect test locally

Muijf•5mo ago

That works, using the same environment as before So I am doing something wrong then

Brody•5mo ago

what is your public url you are testing with and please do yourself a favor, remove the repo from the service and deploy directly from the image rabbitmq:management-alpine (like i have)

Muijf•5mo ago

Sure let me try that. That's the only difference right now I think

Brody•5mo ago

want me to make a new template that deploys from an image and has all the needed variables preconfigured like a RABBITMQ_URL and RABBITMQ_PRIVATE_URL?

Muijf•5mo ago

Nah it's okay I am doing that right now

Brody•5mo ago

i mean id still like to so i know its done correctly

Muijf•5mo ago

Got it working So the issue was either the username or password was too long. But there was no error and I didn't even know that was possible Using simple user and pass like app:app works my username and passwords were no more than 16 chars

RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=app
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=app
RABBITMQ_PRIVATE_URL=amqp://${{RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER}}:${{RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS}}@${{RAILWAY_PRIVATE_DOMAIN}}:5672
RABBITMQ_URL=amqp://${{RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER}}:${{RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS}}@${{RAILWAY_TCP_PROXY_DOMAIN}}:${{RAILWAY_TCP_PROXY_PORT}}

RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS=app
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER=app
RABBITMQ_PRIVATE_URL=amqp://${{RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER}}:${{RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS}}@${{RAILWAY_PRIVATE_DOMAIN}}:5672
RABBITMQ_URL=amqp://${{RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER}}:${{RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS}}@${{RAILWAY_TCP_PROXY_DOMAIN}}:${{RAILWAY_TCP_PROXY_PORT}}

Works

Brody•5mo ago

awsome

Muijf•5mo ago

That's stupid though. To be stuck on this because of a username or password I've never seen that

Brody•5mo ago

it do be dumb

Muijf•5mo ago

I used the same username and generated another secret using the railway utils from the cmd menu and it works So it is the same length as before And it works I swear I used the inline shared variable feature before this too. So I think it's railway's fault not parsing it correctly. Maybe something failed to save internally

Brody•5mo ago

you deployed the template and then changed the username and password variables right? yeah just tested, those two variables are single set only, so after you changed the username and password and used the new credentials in the connection url you where using the wrong credentials since the original username and passwords where still set

Muijf•5mo ago

After retrying it doesn't work anymore. I've set the variables before deploying but when trying to connect it says 'PLAIN login refused: user 'app' - invalid credentials' So the variables weren't used for some reason I had it working, but I wanted to recreate it again because it's very inconsistent

Brody•5mo ago

i just tested with my own template and it works perfectly

Muijf•5mo ago

When changing the password and prompting a redeploy it will have 0 build logs

Brody•5mo ago

you cant change the credentials without wiping the volume afterwards, those variables are single set only

Muijf•5mo ago

Let me try that sorry didn't see you say that Alright thanks I didn't know single set variables were a thing That makes things moving forward so much easier I thought it would just rebuild. But apparently the passwords are stored in the volume?

Brody•5mo ago

yep thats how rabbitmq works iirc same with postgres

Muijf•5mo ago

Quick question. Is there a way to depend on other services?

Brody•5mo ago

like deploy this service after this service becomes healthy type thing you can do in compose?

Muijf•5mo ago

Yes

Brody•5mo ago

nope 😭

Muijf•5mo ago

My postgres services are running fine but for some reason my prisma deploy gives me a " FATAL: the database system is starting up". It sometimes goes through, and sometimes it doesn't. Maybe for another thread

Brody•5mo ago

you can only do work arounds like wait-for-it.sh, nc, pg_isready, sleep 3 in the start command

chirag•5mo ago

the ui for dashboard makes you think you can create links between services lol

Brody•5mo ago

elaborate?

chirag•5mo ago

i spent minutes clicking on service and then trying to join it with other.

Brody•5mo ago

interesting

chirag•5mo ago

because the ui gives whiteboard like feel

Brody•5mo ago

nope, not possible beyond just grouping stuff, it has no effect on the order that stuff is deployed https://community.railway.app/discuss/thread/service-groups-c1faed81

chirag•5mo ago

yes I know but imagine being able to create a graph for your services

Brody•5mo ago

a graph?

chirag•5mo ago

something like this

Brody•5mo ago

add that to https://community.railway.app/feedback but lets not hijack OP's thread any longer please

Muijf•5mo ago

the framework railway is using has full support for those kind of things I am pretty sure not sure what it's called anymore full support as in frontend* react-flow it's called

Brody•5mo ago

that sounds familiar, dont know if they are still using it or have rolled their own solution @Melissa this is the thread, it's not super straightforward because it threw me for a loop before I came to the final conclusion here
