So I'm trying to setup an automated build and test flow, with Jenkins and Selenium grid on a central EC2-instance and nodes on physical machines located at my office.
I don't have port forwarding available at my office.
So I was thinking that I could use a VPN (not a proxy) to connect the machines, as though they were on the same network.
So my setup is currently:
The hub (EC2) with Wireguard
java -jar selenium-server-4.7.2.jar hub --host 0.0.0.0 --allow-cors true --bind-host false
A linux-laptop node
java -jar selenium-server-4.7.2.jar node --hub http://<wireguard-hub>:4444 --host <wireguard-ip> --port 5555 --bind-host false
A windows desktop node
java -jar selenium-server-4.7.2.jar node --hub http://<wireguard-hub>:4444 --host <wireguard-ip> --port 5555 --bind-host false
The nodes are able to do a GET-request to the hub and get a proper json response and the hub is able to do the opposite. But the Selenium software get stuck on [NodeServer$1.lambda$start$1] - Sending registration event....
I've tried running all parties with --log-level FINEST, but all I see is that the hub isn't receiving the request. Both from linux and windows.
I've tried running both nodes as hubs too and they are able to connect to themselves, but not each other (through WireGuard).
So can anyone tell me why I can, but at the same time can't, connect my grid?
EDIT (4. jan 2022):
I have now tried running the node on the same EC2-instance with docker as the Webdriver and that doesn't work either.
The node starts, connects to docker and gets stuck at the same spot.
This (in my mind) points to it being an issue with the EC2-instance.
For now I'll be running it in standalone mode, to get the rest of the pipeline working.
