Prisma Deploy Docker error “Could not connect to server”

Question

This is steps I have done

prisma init

I set postgresql for database in my local(not exist).

It created 3 files, datamodel.graphql, dock

Answer 1

instead of docker-compose up -d USE:

docker-compose up

and keep the window running which will keep localhost:4466 alive.

Note : If u want to connect to connect to the database created in docker, you need to map the port in the following way:

docker run --name <ENTER_NAME> -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<ENTER_PASSWORD> -d -p 5433:5432 postgres  

In the above case PORT(5433) = HOST_PORT and PORT(5432) = CONTAINER_PORT

Answer 2

The documentation mentions:

docker ps

You should see output similar to this:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                    NAMES
2b799c529e73        prismagraphql/prisma:1.7            "/bin/sh -c /app/sta…"   17 hours ago        Up 7 hours          0.0.0.0:4466->4466/tcp   myapp_prisma_1
757dfba212f7        mysql:5.7                           "docker-entrypoint.s…"   17 hours ago  

(Here shown with mysql, but valid with postgresql too)

The point is: there should be two containers running, not one.

Check docker-compose logs to see why the second one (database) did not start.

Answer 3

I found this solution to the same problem i was facing

docker-machine ip default

Use this address and replace the "localhost" with the IP with the above command to look something like this in prisma.yml file

endpoint: http://1xx.1xx.xx.xxx:4466
