I'm trying to connect to a mongodb container inside docker but I'm getting this error:
getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND mongo.ks.local
The database works just fine when I access it from docker but I'm not able to access it from MongoDBCompass
This is my docker-compose.yml file:
version: '3.8'
services:
mongo:
image: mongo
container_name: mongo.ks.local
restart: always
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: <username>
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: <password>
ports:
- 27017:27017
volumes:
- ks_mongodb:/data/db
I'm quite new to docker and will appreciate any help I can get
CodePudding user response:
You need the ip address of the container:
try:
docker inspect <CONTAINER NAME>
And search for the ip address. Then use the ip address to connect to mongodb

I have tried connecting to the container using mongo compass. It failed but when I removed the line of mounting the volume and tried again it connects to the database. Then tried to mount the volume like below it worked. I have changed the username and password and specified the INITDB env variable.
version: "3.8"
services:
mongo:
image: mongo:latest
container_name: mongo.ks.local
restart: always
environment:
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: 1234
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE: admin
