Spring boot docker container is running, but cannot access via localhost/browser - postgresql

Question

I have tried to search other questions, but the solutions arent cutting it.
I have a java spring boot application running inside docker, using the command below:
docker run -p 8080:80 -v C:/Users/USER/Desktop/brapi:/home/brapi/properties --network=brapi_network -d brapicoordinatorselby/brapi-java-server:v2
Container is running. However, when I click 'open in browser', browser says:
This page isn’t working
localhost didn’t send any data. (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE)
What am I missing here? I tried to find my yaml file but I couldnt (beginner here)
Any help would be much appreciated

Answer 1

Spring boot default port is 8080.
My best guess is you're trying to map docker port 8080 to your port 80. In that case, flip your port syntax.
If you have any arguments, then don't forget to provide them in syntax:
docker run \
-p 80:8080 \
-e JAVA_OPTS="-Dspring.profiles.active=dev" \
-v C:/Users/USER/Desktop/brapi:/home/brapi/properties \
--network=brapi_network \
-d brapicoordinatorselby/brapi-java-server:v2

I faced the same issue
you need to have pgadmin(graphical user interface client)in your docker-compose.yml file
In my case I wrote my docker-compose.yml like this and it works properly
services:
postgres:
container_name: postgres
image: postgres
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: amigoscode
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
PGDATA: /data/postgres
volumes:
- postgres:/data/postgres
ports:
- "5432:5432"
networks:
- postgres
restart: unless-stopped
pgadmin:
container_name: pgadmin
image: dpage/pgadmin4
environment:
PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL: ${PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL:-pgadmin4#pgadmin.org}
PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: ${PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD:-admin}
PGADMIN_CONFIG_SERVER_MODE: 'False'
volumes:
- pgadmin:/var/lib/pgadmin
ports:
- "5050:80"
networks:
- postgres
restart: unless-stopped
networks:
postgres:
driver: bridge
volumes:
postgres:
pgadmin:
