Port Forwarding: Cannot match any routes

[MitchHamill]

I am trying to run an ionic app in my Google cloud server and access it from /proxy/8100, when I access the port the page returns only index.html and is unable to load any other resources.
The error is: ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot match any routes. URL Segment: 'proxy/8100'

Any help is appreciated!

@bpmct any suggestions on this, I too have faced this while building React App.
@MitchHamill what I did is, mapped the port of the container to the host network using --net host.
I have never ever got success with the proxy/port-number method, so i exposed few common ports of my container
You can manually expose few common ports too, as

• 3000
• 5000
• like these

or even a range of ports as -p 1035-1050:1035:1050 but let me tell you, exposing a range of ports might slow down your container, I have faced this. Docker daemon eats up memory when exposing a range of ports of a container. Proceed with caution

I got similar errors @MitchHamill when I tried the proxy method,

It would be better instead if you open specific ports as mentioned above.

Hmm... I don't know if the docs would help here but here is a link.

@bpmct might have some insight.

Yeah I don't think these platforms behave well on the routes like host:port/subfolder/subfolder, hence these errors. They are built to work on host:port/

Some workarounds would be:

• use ngrok to access your ports
• use code-server --proxy-domain to proxy the port to a domain you own

However I see you are using --link instead of your own domains. Ideally, we should also give users subdomains for different ports with --link so that they can work on /.

Actually @nooobcoder @MitchHamill - Would you be able to try this? https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#proxying-to-create-react-app
