can't reach a node service through proxy (502 bad gateway)

[marcelbusch]

I've been trying to figure this out for a couply of hours now but I can't get it to work (lando version v3.20.6).

I've got 3 services running, 1 database and 2 node containers, one containing a nuxt frontend (working fine and as expected) and a directus backend which I can't reach from my computer (the 2 node containers can communicate with each other on the expected addresses though). They both have basically the same configuration, which is why I don't really understand why this won't work:

domain: local.host
services:
  appserver:
    type: node:18
    overrides:
      ports:
        - "8058:8058"
  directus:
    type: node:18
    overrides:
      ports:
        - "8059:8059"

proxy:
  appserver:
    - frontend.local.host:8058
  directus:
    - backend.local.host:8059

Trying backend.local.host gives me 'bad gateway' (logs from traefik below) and 0.0.0.0:8059 gives nothing ('connection was reset' in firefox).

traefik logs

heres the log from inside the proxy: 2023-12-13 11:16:24 time="2023-12-13T10:16:24Z" level=debug msg="vulcand/oxy/roundrobin/rr: begin ServeHttp on request" Request="see below" 2023-12-13 11:16:24 time="2023-12-13T10:16:24Z" level=debug msg="vulcand/oxy/roundrobin/rr: Forwarding this request to URL" Request="see below" ForwardURL="http://*.*.*.5:8059" 2023-12-13 11:16:24 time="2023-12-13T10:16:24Z" level=debug msg="'502 Bad Gateway' caused by: dial tcp *.*.*.5:8059: connect: connection refused" 2023-12-13 11:16:24 time="2023-12-13T10:16:24Z" level=debug msg="vulcand/oxy/roundrobin/rr: completed ServeHttp on request" Request="see below"

for better readability I formatted the request json (its always the same obv)

{
"Method": "GET",
"URL": {
"Scheme": "",
"Opaque": "",
"User": null,
"Host": "",

I however reach the frontend app (running on 0.0.0.0:8058) without any problem, through 0.0.0.0:8058 and through frontend.local.host.

and again the request json:

},
"ContentLength": 0,

"Form": null,
"PostForm": null,

}

When I ssh into the directus container and run curl http://0.0.0.0:8059/admin I get a normal response, running the same from outside gives curl: (52) Empty reply from server.

I don't have a real understanding of how traefik or proxying in general works, so if it is quite obvious why this is happening I am sorry. Or is this an issue with directus?
