[tm-monitor] docker container of tendermint monitor connection refused

[yunkunrao]

Follow the steps in README, i.e.:

docker run -it --rm -v "/tmp:/tendermint" tendermint/tendermint init
docker run -it --rm -v "/tmp:/tendermint" -p "46657:46657" --name=tm tendermint/tendermint

docker run -it --rm --link=tm tendermint/monitor tm:46657

there's a connection refused issue for the monitor, here's the log detail:

root@ubuntu18:/home/ryk/go_home/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint/DOCKER# docker run -it --rm --link=tm tendermint/monitor tm:46657
panic: dial tcp 172.17.0.2:46657: getsockopt: connection refused

goroutine 1 [running]:
main.startMonitor(0x7ffcff9abe1a, 0x8, 0x6)
        /go/src/github.com/tendermint/tools/tm-monitor/main.go:79 +0x3dc
main.main()
        /go/src/github.com/tendermint/tools/tm-monitor/main.go:53 +0x16b

Is there something wrong with environment? Thanks.

BY adding "node --proxy-app=XX" subcmd, this issue was fixed. So do you have any plan about updating README?
By the way, there's tm-monitor build failure with latest commit on master branch. Could you help double confirm about this? Thanks very much.

I have the workaround and give comments for tendermint/tendermint#1538. And thanks for your reply.

Can confirm the tm-monitor build failure.
Additionally, I have the same error and the "node --proxy-app=XX" subcmd doesn't fix this for me.

Hi, @LilithVL, go get this tool repo and dep ensure will fix build errors and it works at least in my env. 😊

Re build failure: execute make get_vendor_deps

Re node --proxy-app=XX: this is only needed if you don't have an ABCI app (by default tendermint probes tcp://127.0.0.1:46658 for ABCI application).

• If you don't have an app, you can use kvstore: node --proxy_app=kvstore.
• If you have and it's running somewhere else, again point tendermint to the right location: node --proxy_app=tcp://{IP}:{Port} or node --proxy_app=unix://{IP}:{Port}
