Containerized Postgrest not connecting to Postgres DB.

[System-Integrator]

Hi Team,

I am following the section "Containerized PostgREST and db with docker-compose" as per the link https://postgrest.org/en/stable/install.html#pg-in-docker

But getting below error form the postgrest container.

Attempting to connect to the database...
17/Apr/2022:19:57:01 +0000: {"details":"could not translate host name "db" to address: Try again\n","code":"","message":"Database connection error. Retrying the connection."}

Please assist.

Best Regards,

Sujan

You can post your docker-compose.yml file and see if it changes anything.

You most likely changed the name of the db service in docker-compose.yml without adjusting the hostname in the PGRST_DB_URI variable.
