I'm following the instructions on this page: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/go/managed-vms/ trying to get the example guestbook demo shown here to work: https://github.com/golang/appengine/tree/master/demos/guestbook
The demo works when deployed, but not when run locally. Running locally gives following error in the browser when hitting localhost:8080: service bridge HTTP failed: Post http://10.0.2.2:41019/rpc_http: dial tcp 10.0.2.2:41019: i/o timeout
The error occurs when trying to access the datastore. The debug statement is DEBUG: Container: f18ca4d19536: 2014/12/31 03:08:22 ERROR: GetAll: service bridge HTTP failed: Post http://10.0.2.2:36788/rpc_http: dial tcp 10.0.2.2:36788: i/o timeout which is generated when the query.GetAll function fails.
Here are the statements I used to prepare to run the guestbook demo:
gcloud config set project <project name>
gcloud components update app
gcloud components update gae-go
goapp get google.golang.org/appengine
gcloud preview app setup-managed-vms
remove the "application: vm-guestbook" line from app.yaml
add "apt-get update" to the generated Dockerfile
gcloud preview app run app.yaml
Any ideas what's wrong? If I deploy the app using gcloud preview app deploy app.yaml it works fine. But I'd really like to figure out how to run Managed VM apps locally.
I should mention that I'm able to run the helloworld demo locally. The difference is the helloworld demo doesn't access the datastore. Also, I'm running on Ubuntu 14.04.
