Linked docker-compose containers making http requests

问题

I've been looking on the web for a while and haven't found a solution to my problem which is similar to this StackOverflow question Docker HTTP-requests between containers. But this answer is already what I'm doing in my computer. I'm providing my docker-compose file

version: "3"
services:
  web:
    image: ecdavis15/tsn-web-server
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    links:
      - app
  app:
    image: ecdavis15/tsn-app-server
    ports:
      - "3030:3030"
    links:
      - mongo
  mongo:
    image: mongo
    ports:
      - "27017:27017"
    volumes:
      - ./data/db:/data/db

In my web container I make an http get request to http://app:3030/history or maybe http://app:3030/rules but I'm not seeing the request find its way to the app container. What I'm seeing in the browser console is this error message net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED. I'm not sure why the http request isn't getting into the app container since it's linked to the web container. Any ideas?

Since you make an Ajax call it will be sent by the browser which is client side and not server side. So when you make a call from <IP>:3000 to app:3030 for API, your browser has no idea what app is. So you have few things you can do

Using host file

/etc/hosts

<IP> app

Then when you browse app using app:3000, app:3030 will automatically point to the correct address.

Using javascript to determine API url

You can use javascript to get the url that you should be using for api

document.location.scheme + "://" + document.location.hostname + ":3030"

Using nginx

You can create nginx reverse proxy

location / {
   proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;

   location /api {
      proxy_pass http://localhost:3030;
   }
}

This will require some change in your code file so that you use /api
