Websocket Error Installing Superset behind Proxy

A clear and concise description of what the bug is. I am trying to install Superset for building custom visualization using the guide at: https://superset.apache.org/docs/installation/building-custom-viz-plugins/

Please note that I am attempting it on Ubuntu 20.04 VMs behind a proxy. I am able to install Superset properly in python venv using the guide available at https://superset.apache.org/docs/installation/installing-superset-from-scratch/

However, for tinkering with custom visualizations, I need to go the docker-compose way which is causing me issues as it gives me “superset-websocket Error”.

How to reproduce the bug

1. Clone Superset repository
2. cd superset
3. docker-compose up

Expected results

Successful installation of Apache Superset

Actual results

All modules of superset docker get pulled and install other than the error “superset-websocket Error” with the detail:

docker-compose up

I found the issue #16432 and commented out the lines corresponding to websocket in the docker-compose.yml in the hopes of getting it to run, but it did not help.

docker-compose up

I also tried installing the required versions of node (v16.9.1) and npm (v7.5.4) on the VM but that did not help.

Environment

OS: Ubuntu Server 20.04 Python on VM: 3.8.10 node on VM: 16.9.1 npm on VM: 7.5.4

• browser type and version: Not required so far.
• superset version: attempted with both the default cloning of superset as well as the master build.
• python version: installed on VM 3.8.10
• node.js version: node -v as installed on VM 16.9.1
• any feature flags active: Only attempted default install so far

Checklist

Make sure to follow these steps before submitting your issue - thank you!

• I have checked the superset logs for python stacktraces and included it here as text if there are any.
• I have reproduced the issue with at least the latest released version of superset.
• I have checked the issue tracker for the same issue and I haven’t found one similar.

Additional context

Add any other context about the problem here. Since I have a working instance of Superset using the instructions at the ‘installing from scratch page’ that ends up with a installation in python venv, I was wondering if there is a way to tinker with that to create custom visualizations.

Cheers!
