[App Server] Uplink with Google Compute Server

Anvil Q&A
1

Apologies for cluelessness with respect to getting my own server to work. I followed the instructions for getting the server up and running on a Google Compute VM, and it worked. (Thanks, Ryan!) M y problem now is trying to get an uplink into that server to work. From the docs, it appears all I have to do is:

(1) invoke the server with parameter --uplink-key UPLINKPASSWORD
(2) call it with anvil.server.connect(“UPLINKPASSWORD”,url=“ws://[my-url]:3030/_/uplink”)

But that doesn’t seem to do anything and it aborts with a timeout error

Any help appreciated.

Is port 3030 open on your server/firewall?

That’s a great question, which, if I were competent, I’d know how to answer…

Well, I went to the firewall and added a new rule (I think) opening port 3030, but nothing appears to have changed.

I tried opening up port 3030, but alas I’m getting the same error as you! Did you ever figure out why the issue was?

Is port 3030 routed to your app server?

Hi Owen,

When I employ the anvil server is routed to the port 8080.
