I recently deployed a project I'm working on to production. I use DjangoChannelsGraphqlWs
for GraphQL subscription functionalities. and I have GraphQL Playground set up via django-graphql-playground
. Everything works fine locally - there are no issues whatsoever - subscriptions work fine. However, when I deployed I get the error below when I hit the Play button in Playground:
{
"error": "Could not connect to websocket endpoint wss://api-such.andsuch.xyz/graphql/. Please check if the endpoint url is correct."
}
...and in my browser console, it says
WebSocket connection to 'wss://api-such.andsuch.xyz/graphql/' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 400
One thing to note is that the application is dockerized. Could it be from there? I don't think so because it works locally. Here's what my docker-compose
file looks like:

What could be wrong? I'm outta ideas. Thanks!
Update I checked the Network tab in chrome's developer console and discovered that websocket connections close immediately. Why is this happening?
After going through lots of articles, I discovered Dockerizing Django with Postgres, Gunicorn, and Nginx, and the section on Nginx made me realize that the only thing that was wrong was the fact that I didn't expose port 8000 internally to other docker services.
In my docker-compose
file, the web service was supposed to have the following, which resolved the issue.
expose:
- 8000
