Could not translate host name “db” to address using Postgres, Docker Compose and Psycopg2

Question

In one folder I have 3 files: base.py, Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml.

base.py:

import psycopg2

conn = psycopg2.connect(\"dbname=\'b         


        

Answer 1

Add network, link and depends_on configuration in docker compose file.

something like this:

  services:
      db:
          build: .
          container_name: db
          networks:
              - djangonetwork
      web:
          build: .
          depends_on:
             - db
          links:
             - db:db
          networks:
             - djangonetwork

  networks:
      djangonetwork:
          driver: bridge

the above configuration helped me to resolve the host name to connect to the db.
