Wiki: Failed to connect to MongoDB instance with docker-compose

[n006]

Actually the Wiki.js is not accessible due to a connection issues with the mongodb.
I am using the unchanged docker-compose.yml file.

This is the log:

2017-10-19T09:38:53.683Z - info: [SERVER] Search index flushed and ready.

This is the file:

version: '3'
services:
  wikidb:
    image: mongo
    expose:
      - '27017'
    command: '--smallfiles --logpath=/dev/null'
    volumes:
      - ./data/mongo:/data/db
  wikijs:
    image: 'requarks/wiki:latest'
    links:
      - wikidb
    ports:
      - '80:3000'
    environment:
      WIKI_ADMIN_EMAIL: [email protected]
    volumes:
      - ./config.yml:/var/wiki/config.yml

Would be happy if someone could help.

Thank you im advance.

Just fought 2h this morning on the same issue. You need to change the db parameter in the config.yml file to mongodb://wikidb:27017/wiki (ie, wikidb, the name of the docker-compose service, instead of 127.0.0.1)

That was it.
Thank you!

281 I think the docs should warn users about this

• Thanks a lot, I spent 3 days

I still have this error. My service name in docker.yaml file is "mongo". Hence the url string express is "mongodb://mongo:27017/Puzzle". But I get the error as
MongoNetworkError: failed to connect to server [mongo:27017] on first connect [MongoNetworkError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND mongo mongo:27017]

When I run docker-compose up I see below mongoose connection error in the log.

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND mongod
at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:60:26) {
name: 'MongoNetworkError',
errorLabels: [ 'TransientTransactionError' ],
[Symbol(mongoErrorContextSymbol)]: {}
}

Then a few lines later I see the mongo container log that it is "waiting for connections on port 27017". I tried use a depends_on in my docker-compose.yml

How do I make it so my API container does not prematurely connect to my Mongo container before it is ready to accept connections?
