Mongodb + SpringBoot REST API + Docker Compose not working

Question

I'm trying to use docker-compose to run my Springboot REST API, which uses Mongo as a database, but I'm receiving the following error. Could someone please assist me in resolving this?

When my spring-boot application tries to connect to MongoDB via the Docker container, it gives me problems. Spring-boot appears to be unable to connect to MongoDB on port 27017.

Below is the part of the code and exception.

DockerFile

FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine-jre
ARG JAR_FILE=target/*.jar
COPY ${JAR_FILE} app.jar
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","/app.jar"]

Docker-Compose.yml


version: '3.8'

services:

Command I am use to run docker:

docker-compose up -d --build --force-recreate --renew-anon-volumes

Can you also share the spring boot snippet, where you configured spring boot to connect to mongodb ? — Rafaf Tahsin, Aug 16 '21 at 03:35
According to the error, spring is using localhost:27017, therefore trying to on connect to itself, not `mongo:27017`, the other container — OneCricketeer, Aug 16 '21 at 03:41
@RafafTahsin I am using JPA, so did you want me to share application.properties file? — Nilay Narlawar, Aug 16 '21 at 04:55
@OneCricketeer I didn't understand, which line you talking about. — Nilay Narlawar, Aug 16 '21 at 04:56
He means `2021-08-16 03:16:02.545 INFO 1 --- [localhost:27017] org.mongodb.driver.cluster : Exception in monitor thread while connecting to server localhost:27017`. The address should be `mongo:27017`. — Hans Kilian, Aug 16 '21 at 06:09
Regardless, you should still [edit] your question to include the Spring properties file(s) — OneCricketeer, Aug 16 '21 at 08:55

Your error is here

2021-08-16 03:16:02.545 INFO 1 --- [localhost:27017] org.mongodb.driver.cluster : Exception in monitor thread while connecting to server localhost:27017

The Spring app container isn't running anything on port 27017, let alone a MongoDB server.

Change

spring.data.mongodb.host=localhost

to

spring.data.mongodb.host=mongo

I tried this to do, still getting same error: ``` 2021-08-18 04:51:33.254 INFO 1 --- [ main] org.mongodb.driver.cluster : Cluster created with settings {hosts=[localhost:27017], mode=SINGLE, requiredClusterType=UNKNOWN, serverSelectionTimeout='30000 ms'} 2021-08-18 04:51:33.366 INFO 1 --- [localhost:27017] org.mongodb.driver.cluster : Exception in monitor thread while connecting to server localhost:27017 com.mongodb.MongoSocketOpenException: Exception opening socket at com.mongodb.internal.connection.SocketStream.open(SocketStream.java:70) ~[mongodb-driver-core-4.2.3.jar!/:na] ``` – Nilay Narlawar Aug 18 '21 at 04:53

I am able to resolve the issue Thanks to @OneCricketeer and @Michał Krzywański (Mongodb connection error though docker in springboot).

Solution: Added below line in docker-compose file:

environment:
      - SPRING_DATA_MONGODB_.HOST=mongo

 expose:
                  - 27017

Application.yaml / properties file

spring:
        data:
          mongodb:
            database: test
            host: mymongodb
            port: 27017

        spring.data.mongodb.port=27017
        spring.data.mongodb.host=<mongo-image-name>
        spring.data.mongodb.database=<any-database-name>

Create mongo image :-

docker pull mongo:latest

Stop Local Mongo Service as it runs on the same port
Run docker image :-

docker run -d -p 27017:27017 --name mymongodb mongo:latest --mymongodb is the container name and will be the host name in yaml or properties file

DockerFile Example :-

FROM openjdk:11
      ADD target/springboot-mongo-docker.jar app.jar
      EXPOSE 8080
      ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","app.jar"]

Build the jar :- mvn clean install
Build Docker Image :- docker build -t springboot-mongodb:1.0 .
Run The Linked Container as follows :-

docker run -p 8080:8080 --name springboot-mongodb --link mymongodb:mongo -d springboot-mongodb:1.0

docker-compose.yml :-

docker-compose up

> version: "3"      
     services:       mymongodb:
>          image: mongo:latest
>          container_name: "mymongodb"
>          ports:
>            - 27017:27017       springboot-mongodb:
>          image: springboot-mongodb:1.0
>          container_name: springboot-mongodb
>          ports:
>            - 8080:8080
>          links:
>            - mymongodb
