Mongodb connections time out from openwhisk action

Question

I am running openwhisk via jar on my development box. I can connect to mongo from node and from the command line. However, it times out when I try to connect from an openwhisk action.

curl -u $tok "http://172.17.0.1:3233/api/v1/namespaces/_/actions/openwhiskmongo?blocking=true&result=true" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"jonboy"}' {"error":{"message":"Operation users.findOne()buffering timed out after 10000ms","name":"MongooseError","stack":"MongooseError: Operationusers.findOne() buffering timed out after 10000ms\n at Timeout.<anonymous> (/nodejsAction/hTFYlZze/node_modules/mongoose/lib/drivers/node-mongodb-native/collection.js:153:23)\n at listOnTimeout (internal/timers.js:557:17)\n at processTimers (internal/timers.js:500:7)"}}

Mongo connects fine from the command line.

mongo mongodb://172.17.0.1
MongoDB shell version v4.4.17

The server generated these startup warnings when booting:

172.17.0.1 should be accessible via docker.

ifconfig

Here's my action code.

openmongowhisk.js

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

async function main(args) {
    require('./config/database');
    require('./models/user');
    const User = mongoose.model('User');

    const name = args && args.username;
    var result = 'not initialized';

    var user = await User.findOne({username: name}).exec();

    if (user) {
      result = 'found';
    } else {
      result = 'not found';
    }

    return { user: user, result: result };
}

exports.main = main;

database.js

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const devConnection = "mongodb://172.17.0.1";

mongoose.connect(devConnection, {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true
});

mongoose.connection.on('connected', () => {
    console.log('Database connected');
});

user.js

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    id: String,
    username: String,
});

mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);

Edit:add docker network info

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I disabled the proxy settings on my computer, and now it is working. Can't believe I didn't think of trying that earlier.
