Docker Compose and Postgres : Name does not resolve

In Docker, I am trying to configure Postgres, get it up and running in another container, and link it to my users service, set up with the following structure:

docker-compose-dev.yml
services/
        users/
             manage.py
             Dockerfile-dev
             entrypoint.sh
             project/
                    __init__.py
                    config.py
                    db/
                      create.sql
                      Dockerfile

docker-compose-dev.yml

version: '3.7'

services:

  users:
    build:
      context: ./services/users
      dockerfile: Dockerfile-dev
    volumes:
      - './services/users:/usr/src/app'
    ports:
      - 5001:5000
    environment:
      - FLASK_APP=project/__init__.py
      - FLASK_ENV=development
      - APP_SETTINGS=project.config.DevelopmentConfig
      - DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@users-db:5432/users_dev 
      - DATABASE_TEST_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@users-db:5432/users_test  
    depends_on:  
      - users-db

  users-db:  
    build:
      context: ./services/users/project/db
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:
      - 5435:5432
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres

Dockerfile-dev

# base image
FROM python:3.7.2-alpine

# install dependencies
RUN apk update && \
    apk add --virtual build-deps gcc python-dev musl-dev && \
    apk add postgresql-dev && \
    apk add netcat-openbsd

# set working directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# add and install requirements
COPY ./requirements.txt /usr/src/app/requirements.txt
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# add entrypoint.sh
COPY ./entrypoint.sh /usr/src/app/entrypoint.sh
RUN chmod +x /usr/src/app/entrypoint.sh

# add app
COPY . /usr/src/app

# run server
CMD ["/usr/src/app/entrypoint.sh"]

Here I try to extend the official Postgres image by adding a SQL file to the "docker-entrypoint-initdb.d" directory in the container.

Dockerfile

# base image
FROM postgres:11.1-alpine

# run create.sql on init
ADD create.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d

create.sql

CREATE DATABASE users_prod;
CREATE DATABASE users_dev;
CREATE DATABASE users_test;

Since the "users" service is dependent not only on the container being up and running but also the actual Postgres instance being up and healthy, I added an entrypoint.sh file to "users":

entrypoint.sh

#!/bin/sh

echo "Waiting for postgres..."

while ! nc -z users-db 5432; do
  sleep 0.1
done

echo "PostgreSQL started"

python manage.py run -h 0.0.0.0

manage.py

from flask.cli import FlaskGroup
from project import app, db

cli = FlaskGroup(app)
@cli.command('recreate_db')
def recreate_db():
    db.drop_all()
    db.create_all()
    db.session.commit()
if __name__ == '__main__':
    cli()

config.py

import os  

class BaseConfig:
    """Base configuration"""
    TESTING = False
    SQLALCHEMY_TRACK_MODIFICATIONS = False  

class DevelopmentConfig(BaseConfig):
    """Development configuration"""
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = os.environ.get('DATABASE_URL') 

class TestingConfig(BaseConfig):
    """Testing configuration"""
    TESTING = True
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = os.environ.get('DATABASE_TEST_URL')  

class ProductionConfig(BaseConfig):
    """Production configuration"""
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = os.environ.get('DATABASE_URL')  

I run and successfully build it with:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up -d --build

but I'm having some network issue. If I run:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml logs

I get:

Attaching to dev2_users_1
users_1  | Waiting for postgres...
users_1  | nc: getaddrinfo: Name does not resolve
users_1  | nc: getaddrinfo: Name does not resolve
users_1  | nc: getaddrinfo: Name does not resolve

(...)

What am I missing in the code above?

You need to install bind-tools in Dockerfile-dev for Name does not resolve problem:

apk add bind-tools 

Test:

/usr/src/app # nslookup users-db
nslookup: can't resolve '(null)': Name does not resolve

Name:      users-db
