I am working over gcloud, I use nodejs and socketIO, I am working with simple socket networking, connection, disconnect and ping.

Everything is working great over my local linux machine.

When I deploy to gcloud, it doesn't work. I got disconnection once I connect to the server from the client.

I use port 8080|| process.env.PORT

What's wrong with that.

How can I get it working over gcloud.

Thanks.

are you sure you're using App Engine? maybe it's Compute Engine? – Igor Artamonov Jan 20 '16 at 12:57
So, how can i make sure of that ?? – Mostafa Khattab Jan 20 '16 at 13:20
??? check what you're using. this https://cloud.google.com/appengine/ or this https://cloud.google.com/compute/ – Igor Artamonov Jan 20 '16 at 13:30
Ok, I use app engine – Mostafa Khattab Jan 20 '16 at 13:31
How do you open sockets then? Appengine doesn't allow sockets, as well as NodeJs. Are you using a custom Managed VM? – Igor Artamonov Jan 20 '16 at 13:33
I don't use custom managed vms, thats how my app.yaml file locks like: runtime: nodejs vm: true What should I do to get them work using compute engine ? – Mostafa Khattab Jan 20 '16 at 13:36
I see. `vm: true` means Managed VM. you're using Managed VM. It should support sockets, nodejs and anything, it's basically managed compute engine – Igor Artamonov Jan 20 '16 at 13:40
Ok, thanks for your clarifications. Do you think I have to add something manually to get it work ?? like open a firewall port over the cloud or something like that. – Mostafa Khattab Jan 20 '16 at 13:42
If I don't use ip forwarding, will sockets work over 8080 port. – Mostafa Khattab Jan 20 '16 at 14:10
I guess you need to listen on different port, 8080 proxied to 80 by nginx by default. you need to use another port, but i'm not sure if it works, check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27638401/exposing-multiple-ports-from-within-a-managedvm – Igor Artamonov Jan 20 '16 at 14:22
There's an example app for socketio on Managed VMs [here](https://github.com/jdeskins/socketio-gcmvm). – Nick Jan 21 '16 at 19:53
@Nick I tried it, but I found a problem with. Could you please review it [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34926954/gcloud-socketio-is-not-working-on-multi-instances) Thanks – Mostafa Khattab Jan 22 '16 at 13:15
