MySQL with Python app

General Discussions

Hi guys, I’m having some troubles with a pyhton app that uses MySQL database.
Everytime I want to connect to the database through the python app I get this error:

_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.0' (101)")

I am using a container with this Dockerfile.


WORKDIR /app

# Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app
ADD . /app

# Instalacion de las dependencias
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

The app it’s really basic.
To build this I am using
docker build -t xsschallenge .
and for running it
docker run -ti xsschallenge /bin/bash
for the MySQL part, using a docker-compose.yml

version: '3.1'

services:

  db:
    image: mysql
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "temp662237"
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
    volumes:
      - my-datavolume:/var/lib/mysql
volumes:
  my-datavolume:

And here using docker-compose run --service-ports db

The database connector is
self.conn = _mysql.connect(user=self.user,passwd=self.password,host=self.host,db=self.db,port=3306)

I read a lot this days but I can’t find the solution.

Its not clear if the python container and mysql container is in same network. I would first check if the db container name is pingable from python container and start debug from there.
