Trying to connect to Mongo-express with Docker compose - mongodb

Question

im trying to create microservices with Spring Boot, so i prefered to use mongodb as a database for one of my microservices using docker compose :
here is my docker-compose.yml file content :
version: "3.8"
services:
postgres:
image: postgres
container_name: postgres
restart: always
ports:
- "5432:5432"
networks:
- postgres
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: admin
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: admin
volumes:
- local_pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
pgadmin:
image: dpage/pgadmin4
container_name: pgadmin
restart: always
ports:
- "5050:80"
networks:
- postgres
environment:
PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL: ${PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL:-pgadmin4#pgadmin.org}
PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: ${PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD:-admin}
volumes:
- pgadmin-data:/var/lib/pgadmin
mongodb:
image: mongo
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
ports:
- 27017:27017
volumes:
- mongodb_data_container:/data/db
mongo-express:
image: mongo-express
container_name: mongo-express
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- 8075:8075
environment:
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME: root
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD: admin
volumes:
local_pgdata:
pgadmin-data:
mongodb_data_container:
networks:
postgres:
driver: bridge
mongo-compose-network:
driver: bridge
Ps: postgres is working as well for the other microservice and here's the logs when i run the command:
docker-compose up --force-recreate
And you can find below the logs for mongo-express :

Any solutions please?

Answer 1

As #Sergio Santiago suggested, the container name should be mongo and also i did a mistake on the port definition, it should be 8075:8081 because the second argument is for the server that uses HTTP on port 8081 inside the container but the first one is the host setting.
Here is my final docker-compose file :
mongo:
image: mongo
restart: always
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: example
mongo-express:
image: mongo-express
restart: always
ports:
- 8075:8081
environment:
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME: root
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD: example
ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_URL: mongodb://root:example#mongo:27017/

Answer 2

You defined the Mongo container name in your docker-compose as mongodb but you are referring to that as mongo in your connection string.
