I am pretty new to Django and very new to docker. This is my first time using docker. I am trying to connect my django app in one docker container to postgreSQL database in another docker container. I was following a youtube tutorial when I encountered this problem. I wasn’t following the tutorial exactly as shown in the video though. I am using Docker on Windows 10.

My ‘docker-compose.yml’ file:


    version: '3.8'
    
    services:
      db:
        container_name: db_ramrobazar
        image: postgres
        restart: always
        environment:
          - POSTGRES_DB=postgres
          - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
          - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
        ports:
          - '5432:5432'
        volumes:
          - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/
        # env_file: .env
        networks:
          - djangonetwork
    
      web:
        container_name: web_ramrobazar
        build:
          context: .
        depends_on:
          - db
        command: >
          sh -c "python manage.py makemigrations && 
                 python manage.py migrate &&
                 python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"
        ports:
          - "8000:8000"
        env_file: .env
        links:
          - db:db
        networks:
          - djangonetwork
        volumes: 
          - .:/usr/src/app
    
    volumes:
      postgres_data:
    
    networks:
      djangonetwork:
        driver: bridge

My Dockerfile file:


    FROM python:3.8-slim-buster
    
    
    # setting work directory
    WORKDIR /usr/src/app
    
    
    # env variables

        && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
    
    
    # install dependencies
    RUN pip install --upgrade pip
    COPY requirements.txt .
    RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
    
    
    COPY . .

My .env file:


    DEBUG=True
    SECRET_KEY=mysecretkey
    ALLOWED_HOSTS=*
    DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres
    
    # postgres

    POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
    POSTGRES_DB=postgres
    ENGINE=django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2
    HOST=localhost
    PORT=5432

My settings.py file:


    # DATABASES = {
    #     'default': {
    #         'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
    #         'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
    #     }
    # }
    
     DATABASES = {
         'default': {
             'ENGINE': config('ENGINE'),
             'NAME': config('POSTGRES_DB'),
             'USER': config('POSTGRES_USER'),
             'PASSWORD': 'postgres',
             'HOST': config('HOST'),
             'PORT': config('PORT'),
         }
     }
    
    # DATABASE_URL = config('DATABASE_URL').replace("'", "")
    # DATABASES = {
    #    'default': dj_database_url.parse(DATABASE_URL, conn_max_age=600)
    # }

When I delete all the migration files (like 0001_initial.py) and execute docker-compose up --build, I get the following:

After getting the above result from makemigrations, when I execute python manage.py migrate, I get the following:

I have tried changing the password of the ‘postgres’ user using the CLI like below but it doesn’t do anything.


    # psql -U postgres -d postgres
    psql (14.3 (Debian 14.3-1.pgdg110+1))
    Type "help" for help.
    
    postgres=# ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'postgres';
    ALTER ROLE
    postgres=#

Please let me know if anything else is needed.

Edit

I replaced localhost with db. But then I got the error mentioned in this link. I tried the solution in one of the comments which said that managements commands like python manage.py makemigrations should be run from the web container using the command docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py makemigrations. But when I do that I get the following.

This is the same error I get when I run docker-compose up --build or docker-compose up mentioned above.

Edit Again

As suggested by Sardar Faisal, I removed


    command: >
          sh -c "python manage.py makemigrations && 
                 python manage.py migrate &&
                 python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"

and ran docker-compose run -p 8000:8000 web_ramrobazar sh but I got the error no such service: web_ramrobazar. So I ran docker-compose run -p 8000:8000 web sh instead and I got the following:

This is the same error mentioned above in the first edit.

Updated settings.py:


    # DATABASES = {
    #     'default': {
    #         'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
    #         'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
    #     }
    # }
    
    # DATABASES = {
    #     'default': {
    #         'ENGINE': config('ENGINE'),
    #         'NAME': config('POSTGRES_DB'),
    #         'USER': config('POSTGRES_USER'),
    #         'PASSWORD': 'postgres',
    #         'HOST': config('HOST'),
    #         'PORT': config('PORT'),
    #     }
    # }
    
    DATABASE_URL = config('DATABASE_URL').replace("'", "")
    DATABASES = {
        'default': dj_database_url.parse(DATABASE_URL, conn_max_age=600)
    }

Updated .env:


    DEBUG=True
    SECRET_KEY=mysecretkey
    ALLOWED_HOSTS=*
    DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@db:5432/postgres
    
    # postgres
    POSTGRES_USER=postgres
    POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
    POSTGRES_DB=postgres
    ENGINE=django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2
    HOST=localhost
    PORT=5432

  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    So, it looks like that I had already found the answer in the first edit. I just forgot to revert a silly change that I made while trying out different things. Here's the solution:

    In my .env file:

    
        DEBUG=True
        SECRET_KEY=mysecretkey
        ALLOWED_HOSTS=*
        DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@db:5432/postgres
        
        # postgres
        POSTGRES_USER=postgres
        POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
        POSTGRES_DB=postgres
    
    

    Change the DATABASE_URL as shown above.

    I am using python-decouple for environment variables. You can find it here. I am also using dj-database-url for the DATABASE_URL environment variable. You can find it here.

    In my settings.py:

    
        from decouple import config
        import dj_database_url
        
        DATABASE_URL = config('DATABASE_URL').replace("'", "")
        DATABASES = {
            'default': dj_database_url.parse(DATABASE_URL, conn_max_age=600)
        }
    
    

    Make sure to run all your management commands as shown below (make appropriate changes according to your service name and other names):

    docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py makemigrations
    docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py migrate
    docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py runserver
    docker-compose run --rm web python manage.py createsuperuser
    

    This worked for me. I found the above commands here in a comment by the user Iain Shelvington.


  2. Try to remove

    command: >
      sh -c "python manage.py makemigrations && 
             python manage.py migrate &&
             python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"
    

    Run the container with docker-compose run -p 8000:8000 web_ramrobazar sh

    And once it is in the shell then run you migration commands.
    Otherwise you can write a management command that checks if the postgresql is running and then run the command.

      sh -c "python manage.py wait_for_db &&
             python manage.py migrate"
    

    Maybe you want to add to the web_ram..

    depends_on:

    • db_ram…

    Here is wait_for_db which you can write in one of your apps:

    import time
    
    from django.db import connections
    from django.db.utils import OperationalError
    from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand
    
    
    class Command(BaseCommand):
        """Django command to pause execution until database is available"""
    
        def handle(self, *args, **options):
            self.stdout.write("Waiting for database...")
            db_conn = None
            while not db_conn:
                try:
                    db_conn = connections["default"]
                except OperationalError:
                    self.stdout.write("Database unavailable, waiting 1 second...")
                    time.sleep(1)
    
            self.stdout.write(self.style.SUCCESS("Database available!"))
