Connect to Postgres container via Jira container - postgresql

Question

I made postgres container via docker-compose:
version: "3.7"
services:
postgres:
image: postgres:9.6.15
container_name: some-postgres
volumes:
- postgresql-volume:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=rw_dev
- POSTGRES_USER=rw_dev
- POSTGRES_DB=rw_development
ports:
- "5432:5432"
volumes:
postgresql-volume:
external: true
After inspection i see that it is in devops_default network.
I want to connect not via docker-compose Jira to this database, i tried:
docker run -v jiraVolume:/var/atlassian/application-data/jira --name="jira" -d -p 8080:8080 --env ATL_JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/rw_development --env ATL_JDBC_USER=rw_dev --env ATL_JDBC_PASSWORD=rw_dev --env ATL_DB_DRIVER=org.postgresql.Driver --env ATL_DB_TYPE=postgres72 --link some-postgres:some-postgres --network devops_default atlassian/jira-software
But i am not sure localhost is accurate?
Cause i run docker on Windows so i have docker-for-windows VM.
When I open localhost:8080 i see:
Database: JIRA couldn't connect to your database
JIRA failed to establish a connection to your database.
This could be because:
Your database isn't running
The configuration of your dbconfig.xml file is incorrect (user, password, or database URL etc.)
There is a network issue between JIRA and your database (e.g. firewall, database doesn't allow remote access etc.)
I've tried also:
docker run -v jiraVolume:/var/atlassian/application-data/jira --name="jira" -d -p 8080:8080 --env ATL_JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgresql://postgres:5432/rw_development --env ATL_JDBC_USER=rw_dev --env ATL_JDBC_PASSWORD=rw_dev --env ATL_DB_DRIVER=org.postgresql.Driver --env ATL_DB_TYPE=postgres72 --link some-postgres:some-postgres --network devops_default atlassian/jira-software
And got the same error.
Update:
docker logs jira
INFO:root:Generating /opt/atlassian/jira/conf/server.xml from template server.xml.j2
INFO:root:Generating /etc/container_id from template container_id.j2

Answer 1

You should change :
ATL_JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/rw_development.
to :
ATL_JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgresql://172.17.0.1:5432/rw_development
Or 172.18.0.1

Answer 2

you may change this localhost:5432 to postgres:5432 in your ATL_JDBC_UR since localhost refer to jira docker and you already setup a network beteen them

Answer 3

In my case, I had to add special characters to my password. Evidently numbers and letters is not enough.
