Docker Authorizer is not connecting with localhost db

[bete7512]

Docker Authorizer doesnot connecting with my local Postgres but it connects to container db sudo docker run -p 8081:8080 --env-file .env -d --restart unless-stopped --name authorizer lakhansamani/authorizer:1.1.46

@bete7512 it is docker networking issue, I used host.docker.internal network to connect postgres running locally and that worked

Example Started postgres using docker:

docker run --name pg -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=admin -p 5432:5432 -d postgres

Then started authorizer

docker run --name authorizer --network=host -p 8080:8080 lakhansamani/authorizer:latest ./build/server --database_type=postgres --database_url=postgresql://postgres:admin@host.docker.internal:5432/postgres

Another quick way to run this is using docker-compose.

version: '3.3'
services:
  db:
    image: postgres
    restart: always
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: 'admin'
    volumes:
      - db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
  authorizer:
    image: lakhansamani/authorizer
    restart: always
    ports:
      - '8080:8080'
    depends_on:
      - db
    environment:
      DATABASE_TYPE: "postgres"
      DATABASE_URL: "postgres://postgres:admin@db/postgres"
volumes:
  db:
    driver: local

So, it's not a bug related to the authorizer but something to do with the docker setup. Thanks for sharing it

@lakhansamani can you add this docker-compose and a full example with Redis and all default ENV variables in the official documentation ! (We always prefer one-command solution :) )

Sure @yescine can add this to doc 👍
