Cannot initialize a mongodb replica set on Docker-CodePudding

I have been trying all day to setup a replica set for MongoDB transactions automated by Docker Compose, but no success so far. Keep encountering the error where mongo1 (connected from mongo-setup) can't connect to mongo2 and mongo3 containers, saying connection refused.

The error message I got:

{

"ok" : 0,

"errmsg" : "replSetInitiate quorum check failed because not all proposed set members responded affirmatively: mongo2:27018 failed with Error connecting to mongo2:27018 (172.30.0.5:27018) :: caused by :: Connection refused, mongo3:27019 failed with Error connecting to mongo3:27019 (172.30.0.4:27019) :: caused by :: Connection refused",

"code" : 74,

"codeName" : "NodeNotFound"

}

My setup.sh to initialize replica set:

#!/bin/bash

until mongo --host mongo1 --eval "print(\"waited for connection\")"
do
    sleep 2
done
echo "Connection finished"
echo "Creating replica set"
mongo --host mongo1 <<EOF

        {

    ]
  }
  rs.initiate(config)

CodePudding user response：

so as tested with the OP there was a mixup with the network configuration in compose and host network.

when using multiple services in docker-compose each service is a different host in the compose network, so for example if we have multiple services using the same port that won't be an issue because each has a different hostname and IP.

when mapping ports from docker network to host network using bridge adapter usually only one service can use each port and better to use ports >1024 for security and compatibility reasons.

when wanting to connect to different services in the same compose file but no external connection from WAN into the compose network is needed the ports section of the compose file or the -p option in the docker run command isn't needed

after fixing said miss-configuration there shouldn't be any problems around that topic
