Wrong nginx upstream configuration on IPv4-only daemons

Bug Summary

In default configuration we have following nginx.conf in tools/docker-compose/_sources/nginx.conf:

    upstream uwsgi {
        server localhost:8050;
    }

    upstream runserver {
        server localhost:8052;
    }

    upstream daphne {
        server localhost:8051;
    }

inside container following /etc/hosts is used:

bash-5.1# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
172.28.0.5      awx_1

So localhost is resolved on IPv4/IPv6 dual stack.
But daphne and uwsgi endpoint listening only on IPv4:

 nsenter -t 257902 -n netstat -nlep
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8051          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      0          3429118    258362/python3.9
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8050          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      0          3432861    258395/uwsgi

So all connection to them fails with following in /var/log/nginx/error.log inside tools_awx_1:

2024/03/22 10:58:46 [error] 405#405: *9070 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.5.194, server: _, request: "GET /websocket/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://[::1]:8051/websocket/", host: "****"
2024/03/22 10:58:44 [error] 405#405: *9067 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.5.194, server: _, request: "GET /api/v2/dashboard/graphs/jobs/?job_type=all&period=month HTTP/1.1", upstream: "uwsgi://[::1]:8050", host: "***", referrer: "https://***/"

After replacing localhost with 127.0.0.1 no error in nginx.

Disabling ipv6 for the docker network would be a quick fix, if we don't have an ipv6 requirement.

Something along the lines of

docker network create --ipv6=false disable_ipv6
docker run --network disable_ipv6
docker build --network disable_ipv6
