Access mongo@localhost failed

ghost commented 8 years ago

My mongodb is running inside an own container (tutum/mongodb) When I try to connect to it via localhost from meteorD connection fails

=> Starting meteor app on port:80

/bundle/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/fibers/future.js:278
                        throw(ex);
                              ^
Error: failed to connect to [localhost:27017]
    at Object.Future.wait (/bundle/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/fibers/future.js:398:15)
    at new MongoConnection (packages/mongo/mongo_driver.js:213:1)

However, when define the absolute url: mongodb://my-domain.com:27017 it works. After researching I came across this issue. The answer was to use docker run --net="host" ...

But, when I do this, I get an other error: EADDRINUSE because of port 80, which is reserved for the proxy. So I guess it's not good to share the host network, right.

So finally best practice would be to use the global mongodb uri?

Wondering how to circumvent this aswell (besides the post by OP)?

Localhost is not going to work in a container. Every container thinks it's a separate server.

Have you tried using Docker Compose as mentioned in the readme?

https://github.com/meteorhacks/meteord#22-with-docker-compose

# docker-compose.yml

dashboard:
  image: yourrepo/yourapp
  ports:
   - "80:80"
  links:
   - mongo
  environment:
   - MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/yourapp # "mongo:27017" resolves to the internal IP of the container below
   - ROOT_URL=http://yourapp.com
   - MAIL_URL=smtp://some.mailserver.com:25

mongo:
  image: mongo:latest
