rest request script does not work

I've just spun up a windmill instance on elest.io and want to make rest requests. But i cannot seem to get rest requests working at all, not even a call to https://google.at reurns anything. The Script starts loading and never finishes. I am using the unedited standard script when selecting the rest request script.

I've attached a screenshot of my script while it is loading.

Is that a configuration error in my instance or am i just missing some setting in windmill?

Hi @Chaftalie , just to be certain, could you pull latest and let me know if you still have that issue

rubenf•4/24/24, 10:31 AM

also could you share your script, and potentially try to reproduce on app.windmill.dev

Hi @rubenf thanks for the fast reply, I am using the standard script (I have not changed anything in the script)

I am currently on CE v1.312.0-1-gc68cd9153, I see, that there is a new version (v1.316.0). I am using the image: which gets used for the worker and the server instance.

the lsp instance uses

should i change "main" to "latest" or something else?

on the windmill demo account it works. the demo account also is on v1.312

Just saw that the demo instance has a other script, but its the same outcome with both scripts in both instances

there must be something wrong with the instance hosted on elest.io, maybe I have to ask their support, if there is something blocking outgoing rest requests?

they are using following docker file:

I'm not sure, but it might be something specific to elest.io which I wouldn't recommend as a host provider, you will have a better time just hosting it on hetzner straight and using the official docker-compose

Looks like you're missing the , see https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill/blob/08861c86def461a3696ceeab0ef7907f4561515c/docker-compose.yml#L65-L82

Thanks @Tiago Serafim for the info, I've just talked to Elestio and they added it to the docker-compose file of windmill. Now it works!

@rubenf Yeah, I'll probably move Windmill to hetzner at some point, are there any specific points why you cannot recommend Elestio to host opensource projects? I was thinking about using them as a "managed" hosting provider for my company in the future.

Tiago Serafim•4/24/24, 1:30 PM

Just a heads up, not sure how they work, but the native workers have been a thing for a good while and using as tags is not a good way to host in production.
I mean, for a managed hosting, it doesn't look good

rubenf•4/24/24, 2:57 PM

@Chaftalie they say "managed" but it's not, and it doesn't provide much more than an out-of-date template compared to just our up-to-date docker compose

rubenf•4/24/24, 2:58 PM

the only real managed windmill is provided by us, otherwise the second best is helm-charts/docker-compose
