This change resolves the WebSocket connection error that occurs when Cloudflare or other reverse proxies block WebSocket upgrade attempts. Changes: - Frontend: Configure Socket.IO client to use polling-only transport - Backend: Add documentation comment about transport configuration - Remove WebSocket URL conversion (no longer needed for polling) The error occurred because: 1. Socket.IO started with HTTP polling (successful) 2. Attempted to upgrade to WebSocket (blocked by Cloudflare) 3. Browser received invalid/blocked frames causing "Invalid frame header" 4. Eventually fell back to polling (working) With this fix: - Socket.IO uses HTTP long-polling exclusively - No WebSocket upgrade attempts - No "Invalid frame header" errors - Connection remains stable through Cloudflare Polling transport provides equivalent functionality and reliability. https://claude.ai/code/session_mmQs0
Backend - Flask API
Python Flask backend for Docker container management.
Features
- RESTful API for container management
- Docker SDK integration
- Session-based authentication
- CORS enabled for frontend access
Setup
- Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Configure environment (optional):
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your settings
- Run the server:
python app.py
The server will start on http://localhost:5000
API Endpoints
Authentication
POST /api/auth/login- Login with username/passwordPOST /api/auth/logout- Logout current session
Containers
GET /api/containers- List all containers (requires auth)POST /api/containers/<id>/exec- Execute command in container (requires auth)
Health
GET /api/health- Health check
Docker
Build the Docker image:
docker build -t docker-swarm-backend .
Run the container:
docker run -p 5000:5000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock docker-swarm-backend
Debugging
The application includes comprehensive Docker connection diagnostics that run automatically on startup. Check the logs for:
- Docker environment variables (DOCKER_HOST, DOCKER_CERT_PATH, etc.)
- Docker socket existence and permissions
- Current user and group information
- Connection attempt results
Example output:
=== Docker Environment Diagnosis ===
DOCKER_HOST: unix:///var/run/docker.sock
✓ Docker socket exists at /var/run/docker.sock
Socket permissions: 0o140777
Readable: True
Writable: True
Current user: root (UID: 0, GID: 0)
✓ Successfully connected to Docker using Unix socket
✓ Docker connection verified on startup
If connection fails, the diagnostics will show detailed information about what's wrong.
CapRover Deployment
For deploying to CapRover (which uses Docker Swarm), see the detailed guide in CAPROVER_DEPLOYMENT.md.
Key points:
- Uses
captain-definitionfile withserviceUpdateOverrideto mount Docker socket - Runs as root to access Docker socket
- Includes enhanced debugging for troubleshooting connection issues
- Only supports 1 replica (Docker socket can't be shared)
Security
⚠️ This backend requires access to the Docker socket. Ensure proper security measures are in place in production environments.
Security Considerations:
- Container has root access to the host system via Docker socket
- Implement strong authentication (change default credentials)
- Restrict network access to the API
- Only use in trusted environments
- Monitor logs for suspicious activity
- Consider using a Docker socket proxy for additional security
