websocket issues

[patricktresp]

Hi all,
i just wanted to use this example for websocket:

https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/nodejs-docs-samples/tree/master/appengine/websockets

issue #1
usingvm: true in app.yaml is not supported anymore
issue #2
env: flex is missing in app.yaml
issue #3
forwarding posts is not allowed anymore in flex-environments
`network:
forwarded_ports:

• 65080
  instance_tag: websocket`

issue #4
getExternalIP gets uncorrect ip-address from meta,
( scripts sets 104.xxx.xxx.xxx - console shows external ip as set to 130.xxx.xxx.xxx )
Does anyone have this example up and running on gce?

Main target is to create a websocket server which can be connected to from non gce-environmental clients...

thanks for help

The reason this example hasn't been updated to use env: flex is that env: flex does not yet support websockets.

There's nothing I can do for this until Google App Engine flexible environment supports websockets.

I am facing similar issue with port forwarding. I deployed a custom docker image of tcp server listening on port 6788 on app engine flexible environment. But seems like forwarded_ports: in app.yaml is not working.

Can we run a tcp server on app engine flexible environment? If so then how do I apply port forwarding from host port to container port?
Any help is appreciated.

Is there any update on this issue, is it likely to be fixed in the near future?
