Problem with "execute" step in flight-school tutorial

[erg...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm doing the flight-school tutorial - however i cant seem to be able to send the task for exececution.

ergo@ergo-virtual-machine:~/workspace/flight-school$ fly -t local pipelines
targeting http://127.0.0.1:8080
name         paused
hello-world  no    
ergo@ergo-virtual-machine:~/workspace/flight-school$ fly -t local execute -c build.yaml 
targeting http://127.0.0.1:8080
executing build 7
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8080: Connection refused
gzip: invalid magic
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
exit status 2
failed

so it seems that fly is able to connect to the server, and i managed to run hello-world just fine, but when execute tries to curl the data to Ci it fails.

Any idea what might be the case?

http://127.0.0.1:8080 IS reachable.

Regards

Marcin

Did you find a solution to this?  I'm hitting this same issue -- talking to the local pipeline works, but "execute" fails with the curl....

Sure,

it seems the solution is to never use 127.0.0.1 (loopback), instead one should use the public IP of the interface.

Thanks for the workaround.  This was pretty non-obvious so I posted a bug:
