APISIX gateway setup

I am trying to create a APISIX gateway for my microservice. I have used the docker to install APISIX gateway using the apisix documentation Getting started (https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/getting-started/README/) Version 3.3.0. It works for route:

curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT -d '
{
  "id": "getting-started-ip",
  "uri": "/ip",
  "upstream": {
    "type": "roundrobin",
    "nodes": {
      "httpbin.org:80": 1
    }
  }
}'

and curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/ip" it returns the expected response.

Now i want to change the upstream to localhost:XXXX. I have my dummy api server running at localhost:XXXX (not on docker)

if i do curl "http://localhost:XXXX/api/v1/test_server/testing" it returns back { success: true} as json

now i want to change the apisix upstream as the dummy api server i.e. localhost:XXXX, so what did was change the upstream:

curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT -d '
{
  "id": "1",
  "uri": "/api/v1/test_server/testing",
  "upstream": {
    "type": "roundrobin",
    "nodes": {
      "localhost:XXXX": 1
    }
  }
}'

but when i try to do curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/test_server/testing" it shows

<html>
<head><title>502 Bad Gateway</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>502 Bad Gateway</h1></center>
<hr><center>openresty</center>
<p><em>Powered by <a href="https://apisix.apache.org/">APISIX</a>.</em></p></body>
</html>

and in the docker log of APISIX it shows

connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: localhost, server: _, request: "GET /api/v1/test_server/testing HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://localhost:XXXX/api/v1/test_server/testing", host: "<host ip and port>"

Can you help me why it not able to stablish connection to my local server.

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • I was having the same issue, this might be network issue related to docker networking try to dockerize your dummy api server and run it in the same network of apisix configured in the docker-compose file

    as 502 is usually because you can’t access your upstream service through apisix. In docker, if you want to access your host service, you can change the upstream hostname from localhost to host.docker.internal if you are using macOS, or 172.17.0.1 if you are using Linux And try to see if you can access it through APISIX
