Compose: nginx can't connect to docker embedded dns

Created on 16 Apr 2018  路  2Comments  路  Source: docker/compose

I'm trying to make an application with about the following functionality:

when the user enters 1234.my.domain.com, he should see the small django-application response that is in the container with port 1234.

On my server, I have nginx(on the server, not in container!) with the configuration for my task:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

    # This captures the subdomain (if digits) as the $backport variable
    server_name ~^(?P<backport>[0-9]+)\.my\.domain\.com$;

    location / {
        resolver 127.0.0.11 ipv6=off;

        if ($backport) {
                proxy_pass http://localhost:$backport;
        }
    }
}

and docker-compose.yml

version: '3'

services:
  db:
    image: postgres
  web:
    build: .
    command: python3.6 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080
    container_name: "task_${TASK_ID}"
    volumes:
      - .:/code
    ports:
      - "${TASK_ID}:8080"
    depends_on:
      - db

When I write docker-compose up, everything runs fine and when i write curl localhost:1234, i see django hello-world html code.
But when I type in the browser 1234.my.domain.com, I get 502 Bad Gateway.
In nginx error log i see

recv() failed (111: Connection refused) while resolving, resolver: 127.0.0.11:53

I googled a lot, but I did not find a solution to the problem. Maybe I'm missing something, but for me it's very strange that nginx can not connect to docker dns. It looks like a docker problem
