Can't access Postgres running with docker-compose from WebStorm (JetBrains) - postgresql

I have the following docker-compose.yml:
version: '3.7'
services:
postgres-service:
image: postgres:12.3
env_file:
- .env
ports:
- '5432:5432'
volumes:
- /postgres/data/
This is my .env:
POSTGRES_USER=app_postgres_user
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=foobar
POSTGRES_DB=app_database
I know postgres-service is working because I connect manually to the service and it works with following commands:
docker-compose run postgres-service bash # connect to postgres-service
psql --host=postgres-service --username=app_postgres_user --dbname=app_database
But when I try to connect from within "Webstorm > Database" I get this error:
The connection attempt failed.
java.net.UnknownHostException: postgres-service.
Screenshot:

If Webstorm is running on the same host as the container, replace postgres-service with localhost.
If it is running elsewhere, replace postgres-service with the IP address of the docker host machine where the container resides.
I used your docker-compose and connected with DBeaver with these settings:
Your postgres container resides in a virtual network (e.g.: 172.17.0.0/16). By default there is no route from your machine to that network.
When you use
ports:
- 'src:dest'
...in your docker-compose.yml file, a DNAT rule is created from your host:src to the container:dest and that's the reason of using localhost:src or the IP address of the docker host.

Fedora: Application Container Cannot establish connection to DB Container

I am having trouble connecting to a db container from the application container on a Fedora Host. I have verified being able to connect to the database using the same credentials via the psql command line interface. Using the same information in my application does not work.
Here is my docker compose file
version: '3.3'
services:
postgrestest:
build: ./vrs
command: python3 app.py
volumes:
- ./vrs/:/appuser/
ports:
- 5000:5000
env_file:
- ./.env.dev
depends_on:
- db
db:
image: postgres:12-alpine
volumes:
- postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/
environment:
- POSTGRES_USER={{user}}
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD={{password}}
- POSTGRES_DB=sharepointvrs
volumes:
postgres_data:
This is the code used to connect to the container, from within the application container:
dbconfig = environment["database"]
try:
connection = psycopg2.connect(
dbname=dbconfig["dbname"], #sharepointvrs
user=dbconfig["user"],
password=dbconfig["password"],
host=dbconfig["host"], # tried 0.0.0.0, localhost, and IP address obtained from docker inspect
port=dbconfig["port"] # 5432
)
connection.autocommit = True
except:
print("Database initialization failed.")
I've tried both using localhost and using the IP obtained from running a docker inspect:
# tried 0.0.0.0, localhost, and IP address obtained from docker inspect
In your app's config, set the database host to 'db'
That exists as a DNS alias, available in the other containers, based on what you set the service name to in your compose file:
services:
db:
# ...
The issue was due to firewall interface policies configured by the docker installation on Fedora.
Docker must be added to the trusted zone before it gets installed.

Connecting to Postgres Docker server - authentication failed

I have a PostgreSQL container set up that I can successfully connect to with Adminer but I'm getting an authentication error when trying to connect via something like DBeaver using the same credentials.
I have tried exposing port 5432 in the Dockerfile and can see on Windows for docker the port being correctly binded. I'm guessing that because it is an authentication error that the issue isn't that the server can not be seen but with the username or password?
Docker Compose file and Dockerfile look like this.
version: "3.7"
services:
db:
build: ./postgresql
image: postgresql
container_name: postgresql
restart: always
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=trac
- POSTGRES_USER=user
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=1234
ports:
- 5432:5432
adminer:
image: adminer
restart: always
ports:
- 8080:8080
nginx:
build: ./nginx
image: nginx_db
container_name: nginx_db
restart: always
ports:
- "8004:8004"
- "8005:8005"
Dockerfile: (Dockerfile will later be used to copy ssl certs and keys)
FROM postgres:9.6
EXPOSE 5432
Wondering if there is something else I should be doing to enable this to work via some other utility?
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Update:
Tried accessing the database through the IP of the postgresql container 172.28.0.3 but the connection times out which suggests that PostgreSQL is correctly listening on 0.0.0.0:5432 and for some reason the user and password are not usable outside of Docker even from the host machine using localhost.
Check your pg_hba.conf file in the Postgres data folder.
The default configuration is that you can only login from localhost (which I assume Adminer is doing) but not from external IPs.
In order to allow access from all external addresses vi password authentication, add the following line to your pg_hba.conf:
host all all * md5
Then you can connect to your postgres DB running in the docker container from outside, given you expose the Port (5432)
Use the command docker container inspect ${container_number}, this will tell you which IPaddress:ports are exposed external to the container.
The command 'docker container ls' will help identify the 'container number'
After updating my default db_name, I also had to update the docker-compose myself by explicitly exposing the ports as the OP did
db:
image: postgres:13-alpine
volumes:
- dev-db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=devdb
- POSTGRES_USER=user
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=1234
ports:
- 5432:5432
But the key here was restarting the server! DBeaver has connected to localhost:5432 :)

Docker compose doesn't connect two containers

I have two containers that don't connect to each other:
1. I made an image postgres that get data from dump.sql
here is Dockerfile:
FROM postgres:11.1-alpine
COPY restore_db.sh /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
COPY db.sql /backup/
ENV PGDATA=/data
Then I created container with docker run --name db -p 5432:5432 db
4.I made a image with app. Dockerfile for app look like:
# Set the working directory to /app
WORKDIR /app
# Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app
COPY build/libs/ /app/
# Make port 80 available to the world outside this container
EXPOSE 8085
# Define environment variable
ENV NAME app
# Run app when the container launches
CMD java -jar /app/olympic-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
I made a container with run.
then i use docker-compose up with file that looks like:
version: '3'
services:
db:
image: db-data
container_name: postgres
ports:
- 5432:5432
volumes:
- ./pg_data:/data
environment:
POSTGRES_DB: innovation
POSTGRES_USER: postgres
PGDATA: /data
restart: always
web:
image: app
container_name: roc
environment:
POSTGRES_HOST: db
ports:
- 8085:8085
restart: always
links:
- db
```
here is property file:
```
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://db:5432/innovation
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.jdbc.lob.non_contextual_creation=true
logging.level.org.hibernate.SQL=DEBUG
logging.level.root=INFO
spring.output.ansi.enabled=ALWAYS
logging.level.org.hibernate.type.descriptor.sql.BasicBinder=TRACE
spring.liquibase.change-log=classpath:liqubase/db.changelog-master.xml
spring.liquibase.url=jdbc:postgresql://db:5432/innovation
spring.liquibase.user=postgres
```
Thet are not able to be connected.
I always got an error:
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Connection to db:5432 refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections.
First of all I dont see any network defined in your Docker files for both containers
So I assume ther are on $project-default network.
docker network inspect $project-default
will give you list of all containers using default network.
Now coming to the containers, Let's assume DB is Container 1 (10.1.1.2) and Spring App is Container 2 (10.1.1.3).
You can get running containers IP by running
docker inspect containerName
You are exposing 5432 and 8085 port for db and Spring respectively
Inside Spring app container property file spring.datasource.url
localhost:5432 or db:5432 (not sure what is db hostname mapped to) is not accessable as DB is in different container.
You can try 10.1.1.2:5432
When you are exposing 5432 and 8085 port from Host machine you can access these port.
eg in Docker for Windows it would be 192.168.99.100:5432
but same cant be access from inside container.
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://10.1.1.2:5432/innov should work assuming DB is up and running

Docker Compose Postgres Container connection refused from hosting machine

I have the following definition of docker-compose file with postgres image that I want to run and connect to it from hosting machine of my PC, but I'm getting Connection Refused localhost:5432 all the time. I realize that container has to be run on host network driver, but network mode doesn't solve this problem. What I'm doing wrong?
I run this with docker-compose -f [file] up on Windows 10 with Docker for Desktop
version: '3.7'
services:
database:
image: postgres:10.6
restart: always
ports:
- "5432:5432"
environment:
- POSTGRES_USER=postgres
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=p0stgr#s
- POSTGRES_DB=eagle_eye_local
network_mode: host
When I run the same container with the following command it works:
docker container run --name postgres10.6 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=p0stgr#s -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_DB=eagle_eye_local -p 5432:5432 postgres:10.6
I'm assuming you are not running natively on linux but use some Docker for Desktop. Then the short answer is: Remove the network_mode: host and the compose setup will work the same way your docker run command works.
version: '3.7'
services:
database:
image: postgres:10.6
restart: always
ports:
- "5432:5432"
environment:
- POSTGRES_USER=postgres
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=p0stgr#s
- POSTGRES_DB=eagle_eye_local
The two examples you provided are not really equal even though they can lead to some similar results when run on a real linux host (similar in a way that on a linux host you will be able to access the postgres instance via localhost:5432 on the host machine).
If you run the given compose file on Docker for Desktop (Mac or Windows) you must keep in mind that in this case there is a VM running your containers and all commands are passed into that VM. If you don't use network_mode: host Docker will (1) expose the port correctly on the VM and (2) have some proxy process in place on your host machine (mac/windows) to forward the traffic into the VM. This basically doesn't work when you start the container with network_mode: host.
You can verify the established mapping when running docker ps under the Ports column. This will be empty if you run with network_mode: host.
For some more details see the discussions in the docker forum.

How to connect Postgresql Docker Container with another Docker Container

I want to connect mysoft docker container to postgresql docker container.
But i have some errors:
ERROR: for mysoft_db_1 Cannot start service db: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint mysoft_db_1 (XXX):
Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:5432: bind: address already in use
ERROR: for db Cannot start service db: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint mysoft_db_1 (XXX):
Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:5432: bind: address already in use
here is my docker-compose.yml
version: '2'
services:
mysoft:
image: mysoft/mysoft:1.2.3
ports:
- "80:8080"
environment:
- DATABASE_URL=postgres://mysoft:PASSWORD#db/mysoft?sslmode=disable
db:
image: postgresql
environment:
- POSTGRES_USER=mysoft
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=PASSWORD
- POSTGRES_DB=mysoft
ports:
- 5432:5432
I want use another, already running docker pg server to connect new soft, also one pg docker server, for more projects
Is it possible?
You should add links to the definition of mysoft service in docker-compose.yml. Then your db service will be accessible from mysoft container.
After that your service definition will look like this.
mysoft:
image: mysoft/mysoft:1.2.3
ports:
- "80:8080"
environment:
- DATABASE_URL=postgres://mysoft:PASSWORD#db/mysoft?sslmode=disable
links:
- db
Now about error of binding. Probably, you receive it, because you have a local postgresql running on port 5432 or you already have a running docker container with 5432 port mapped to local machine.
ports:
- 5432:5432
It is used for mapping ports to your local machine. And if you don't need to access container's db from it, just remove it.
I want use another, already running docker pg server to connect new
soft, also one pg docker server, for more projects Is it possible?
Yes, it's possible. Use external_links.
If you choose this option:
Remove the db service and links in mysoft service definition from your docker-compose.yml
Add external_links with correct container name to mysoft service definition.
Update host and port in DATABASE_URL according to the container name and postgresql port in it.
You might want to check of you already have a local postgres running on port 5432? If you do you can not do the ports 5432:5432 but have to expose the inner port to an other outer port e.g. 5555:5432
at least if you are using native docker (running on localhost)...
