Access nodejs hosted in docker container in another container using web application

Docker Hub
1

I have 3 containers running:

  1. nodejs 12.20.1
  2. openmrs with embedded tomcat 7
  3. mysql 5.7

OS: Ubuntu 16.04

tomcat container is able to connect to mysql . node is able to connect to mysql.

However when tomcat container tries to connect to node on a http request using node-container-id:3004/3333 as hostname:port OR node-container-internal-ip:3004/3333 as hostip:port , it keeps giving 404 error.

My docker-compose.yml is as follows:

version: ‘2.1’

Any idea what am I missing?

I solved it by using the correct port-IP combination.

Thanks
