I have a problem running my dockerized phoenix application with postgresql.
I specified my docker-compose.yml file to include two services: my phoenix service, build by a dockerfile and a latest postgres image taken from docker hub.
My dockerfile for phoenix looks like this:
# base image elixer to start with
FROM elixir:1.6
# install hex package manager
RUN mix local.hex --force
RUN mix local.rebar --force
# install the latest phoenix
RUN mix archive.install https://github.com/phoenixframework/archives/raw/master/phx_new.ez --force
# create app folder
RUN mkdir /app
COPY ./my_app /app
WORKDIR /app
# install dependencies
RUN mix deps.get
# run phoenix in *dev* mode on port 4000
# CMD mix phx.server
My docker-compose.yml file looks like this:
version: '3.6'
services:
phoenix:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile.phoenix.development
ports:
- 4000:4000
volumes:
- ./my_app:/app
depends_on:
- db
- redis
environment:
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID: ${GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID}
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET: ${GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET}
FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID: ${FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID}
FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET: ${FACEBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET}
command: mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate && mix phx.server
db:
container_name: db
restart: always
image: postgres:latest
ports:
- "5432:5432"
environment:
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD="some_pass"
- POSTGRES_USER="some_user"
volumes:
- ./data/db:/data/db
Here is the error:

I’m able to run my phoenix app on localhost just fine without docker.
When I set this up with docker and docker-compose, I remember to switch the dev.exs file to reference the host “db”.
I wondering if this is an issue with my postgresql setup or my phoenix app setup

I do not understand that one…

TL;DR: Set them in a way, that makes you able to keep them in synch easily.
The
environmentkey is always for the surrounding image only.Usually you are passing those environment variables to the postgresql container to configure it.
Then you have to makje sure that all clients use the same credentials as passed into the postgres container. How you do this often depends on your overall architecture.
Most of the time its just hard-configuring them in the
config/<env>.exsor passing them as environment variable into the client container as well.But
vaultmanaged credentials are possible as well. Well, kind of… Changing the credentials for a repo requires it to kill the repos supervisor and restart it with new credentials as far as I understand…cnck1387
Each service needs its own reference to environment variables. You’ll want to add it to the phoenix service too.
You could also put those ENV variables into a file, such as a
.envfile and then load it in both services withenv_filein compose (instead of inlining and duplicating them withenvironment).Last Post!

I mean this:
But Okay, you are using a relative path there, so its not that bad as I thought. Still I strictly prefer named volumes which are then managed by docker.
