I am trying to use Laravel Scout with docker I followed along with the docs Laravel Scout Docs I made all required steps for installation and everything is up and running as expected. but whenever I try to search data I received this error cURL error 7: Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 7720: Connection refused. I am sending the request from insomnia to laravel route web.

• Note:- when I visit http://127.0.0.1:7720/ the meilisearch default page shows up. also tried to curl -kvs --http2 --request GET 'http://localhost:7720/indexes' it works fine and returns Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 7720 (#0) but whenever I send from insomnia I got the error

steps to reproduce the error

1. trying to search Event model by keword PENDING.

   \App\Models\Event::search('PENDING')->get()

2. Event model class

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;
use Database\Factories\EventFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;

class Event extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    use Searchable;

    public $incrementing = false;

    protected $keyType   = 'string';

    protected $fillable = ['event_type_id', 'status'];

    protected static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
        static::creating(function ($model) {
            $model->id = Str::uuid()->toString();
        });
    }

    public static function newFactory(): EventFactory
    {
        return EventFactory::new();
    }
}

3. Laravel .env file

SCOUT_DRIVER=meilisearch

MEILISEARCH_KEY=masterKey
MEILISEARCH_NO_ANALYTICS=false

I noticed you’re making an external API request to a route in the web.php and that might be the cause of your problem. Setup your routes in your api.php and try again

CodePudding user response：

Brother, first thing first, the container isn't exposing environment variables. If you can specify something like env_file or use the secrets methodology then you can access your environment variables inside the container. And, the environment variables like SCOUT_DRIVER=meilisearch MEILISEARCH_HOST=http://127.0.0.1:7720 aren't assigned to any of the services. Maybe that's preventing it to initiate.

CodePudding user response：

Could you try MEILISEARCH_HOST=http://meilisearch:7720
