Godot Version
4.5.1
Question
I’m trying to deploy the godot websocket chat example to an external hosting service (Railway + Docker). The end goal is to run a browser game but with a server authority. The only changes I’ve made to the demo are:
# server.gd
# ... existing code
func _ready() -> void:
var port := int(OS.get_environment("PORT"))
if !port:
print("no port im a client")
else:
print("port found", port, "im a server")
_on_listen_toggled(true)
func _on_listen_toggled(pressed: bool) -> void:
var port := int(OS.get_environment("PORT"))
# ... existing code
The client is able to connect to “wss://echo.websocket.org” so i know ssl websockets is working locally. But when i try to connect to my railway instance i get:
On build, Railway outputs:
My docker file looks like this:
# Use the official slim Ubuntu image (smaller than full ubuntu:22.04)
FROM ubuntu:22.04
# Install only what we need
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
ca-certificates \
wget \
unzip \
fontconfig \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN wget -O godot.zip \
"https://downloads.godotengine.org/?version=4.5.1&flavor=stable&slug=linux.x86_64.zip&platform=linux.64" \
&& unzip godot.zip \
&& mv Godot_v4.5.1-stable_linux.x86_64 /usr/local/bin/godot \
&& chmod +x /usr/local/bin/godot \
&& rm godot.zip
# Copy your project files into the container
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
EXPOSE $PORT
# Run the server headless
CMD ["/usr/local/bin/godot", "--headless", "server.tscn"]
I’ve realized Railway gives my project it’s own port (8080 from the output above), so i just use whatever it needs with $PORT.
Is Railway preventing my connection from happening? Or am I doing something small wrong?
