Postgresql – Spring JPA with docker compose: Unable to determine Dialect without JDBC metadata (please set 'jakarta.persistence.jdbc.url' or 'hibernate.dialect'

I am unable to connect my spring boot application to a PostgreSQL database using Spring JPA.

Below is my application.yaml file.

spring:
  application:
    name: jaah
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:postgresql://db:5432/taah
    username: waah
    password: blah
    driverClassName: org.postgresql.Driver
  jpa:
    database-platform: org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
    hibernate:
      ddl-auto: update
    properties:
      hibernate:
        dialect: org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
        ddl-auto: none
        boot:
          '[allow_jdbc_metadata_access]': false
  sql:
    init:
      mode: never
  main:
    allow-bean-definition-overriding: true
logging:  
    level:    
      org:
        hibernate: DEBUG
server:
  port: 8080
  address: 0.0.0.0

and below is the docker compose.yaml file. The database is hosted on post 5432 INSIDE the container and 5434 on the outside.

db:
    image: postgres
    container_name: db
    ports:
      - 5434:5432
    restart: always
    env_file:
      - .env
    volumes:
      - postgresdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
 
    environment:
       - POSTGRES_DB=taah
       - POSTGRES_USER=waah
       - PGUSER=waah
       - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}                  #from env
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL","psql -h localhost -U $${POSTGRES_USER} -c select 1 -d $${POSTGRES_DB}"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5
    networks:
      - mynetwork

spring_boot_server:
    image: backend
    build: .
    depends_on: 
      db:
        condition: service_healthy
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"  
    networks:
      - mynetwork
    environment:
      - SERVER_PORT=8080  
networks:
  mynetwork:
    driver: bridge

My DockerFile below

FROM openjdk:21
ARG JAR_FILE=target/*.jar
COPY ${JAR_FILE} app.jar
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","/app.jar"]

The application worked when I ran the docker compose and the server separately i.e when I ran the postgres docker container and THEN the spring application connected to the database at port 5434.

This was the last message before the server started
db | 2024-09-15 11:14:15.980 UTC [1] LOG: database system is ready to accept connections
I bash'd into the postgres container sudo docker exec -it db /bin/sh

psql -h db -p 5432 -U waah -d taah Password for user waah:
waah=# dt Did not find any relations.

This was AFTER I restarted the container using

  1. sudo docker-compose down –volumes
  2. sudo docker-compose build
  3. sudo docker-compose up

I also changed the database url to
jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/taah
but with no avail

    mvn clean package

    then

    mvn clean install -DskipTests

    and then

    sudo docker compose build 

 sudo docker compose up
