Unable to execute HTTP request: Connect to localhost:8000 [localhost/127.0.0.1] failed: Connection refused (Connection refused)

Question

I'm trying to install dynamodb locally for docker.

I've written the below code from here.

docker run -p 8000:8000 amazon/dynamodb-local -jar DynamoDBLocal.jar -sharedD

Then I can reach localhost:8000/shell

In my client java, I set the endpoint

AmazonDynamoDB client = AmazonDynamoDBClientBuilder
    .standard()
    .withCredentials(new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider())
    .withEndpointConfiguration(
        new AwsClientBuilder.EndpointConfiguration("http://localhost:8000/", "eu-central-1")
    ).build();

but when I run it, log the following error.

Can anyone help me? enter code here

Is the client running directly on the host, or in a separate container? — David Maze, May 09 '19 at 13:42

Replace your endpoint configuration from:

http://localhost:8000

To:

http://host.docker.internal:8000

It only works on Mac. On Linux this http://host.docker.internal:8000 is not reachable and requires extra steps https://medium.com/@TimvanBaarsen/how-to-connect-to-the-docker-host-from-inside-a-docker-container-112b4c71bc66 – user1278890 Sep 22 '21 at 15:43
