Unknown, Last error: connection() error occurred during connection handshake: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:27017: connect: connection refused }

here’s my docker build file

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1 
FROM golang:1.18 
WORKDIR /go/src/github.com/worker 
COPY go.mod go.sum main.go  ./ 
RUN go mod download

ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib 
COPY --from=jrottenberg/ffmpeg / / 
COPY app.env /root

    I added extra hosts and changed my mongo uri to host.docker.internal and it solved my problems

    version: "3.9"

services:
  worker:
    image: worker
    environment:
     - MONGO_URI="mongodb://host.docker.internal:27017/"
     - MONGO_DATABASE=e-learning 
     - RABBITMQ_URI=amqp://user:password@rabbitmq:5672/
     - RABBITMQ_QUEUE=upload
    networks:
     - app_network
    external_links:
     - e-learning
     - rabbitmq
    volumes:
      - worker:/go/src/github.com/worker:rw
    extra_hosts:
      - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"

networks:
 app_network:
  external: true
volumes:
  worker:

    Change MONGO_URI="mongodb://localhost:27017/" to MONGO_URI="mongodb://e-learning:27017/" (working on the assumption that e-learning is the mongo container).

    Within a container attached to a bridge network (the default) localhost (127.0.0.1) is the container itself. So your app container is trying to access the database at port 27017 on itself (not on the host or on the db container). The easiest solution is to use the automatic DNS resolution between containers that docker provides.
