I would assume that once the API starts, it attempts to connect to the Postgres. If yes, this is a typical error that many Docker developers experience where the Postgres DB is not yet ready to accept connections and apps are trying to connect to it.
You can solve the problem by trying either of the following approaches:
If this doesn’t work, I would recommend for you to check whether there is a Postgres DB installed outside of the container that owns the port you were trying to access.
Along with Allan Chua’s answer, Please mention a startup dependency on Postgres service in your docker-compose file.
Add this to your
api
service.
