I try to up a Node.JS container linked with a MongoDB container by docker-compose, but systematically node.js return an ECONNREFUSED error.
The error
nodejs_1 | /code/node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/lib/server.js:228
nodejs_1 | process.nextTick(function() { throw err; })
nodejs_1 |
nodejs_1 | Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
nodejs_1 | at exports._errnoException (util.js:746:11)
nodejs_1 | at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1010:19)
NodeJS code
var db = 'mongodb://database:27017/wondrapi';
mongoose.connect(db);
docker-compose.yml
web:
build: ./web
ports:
- "8080:80"
links:
- nodejs
volumes:
- ./web:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro
nodejs:

ports:

links:
- database
command: npm start
database:
image: mongo
volumes:
- db:/data/db
ports:

Dockerfile (./api)
FROM node
ADD package.json /code/
WORKDIR /code
RUN npm install
ADD . /code
How can I solve the error?
I solve my problem:
I try to setup my connection (from node) to mongodb before the mongodb server was completely up (it take 5/6 secs for the first start).
So, i just need to retry the connection few times (3/4 times) with 1 sec before each requests from node before mongo accept the request.
var connectWithRetry = function() {
return mongoose.connect(db, function(err) {
if (err) {
console.error('Failed to connect to mongo on startup - retrying in 1 sec', err);
setTimeout(connectWithRetry, 1000);
}
});
};
connectWithRetry();
