Every time that I’m trying to access nginx via localhost:8000 / 127.0.0.1:8000 I catch this error:

nginx_1 | 2022/05/29 13:28:57 [error] 32#32: *1 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 172.22.0.1, server: , request: "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://172.22.0.5:9001", host: "localhost:8000", referrer: "http://localhost:8000/"

A day before this docker config worked

I created the github repo for the for easier code review

What I’m already tried:

  1. Change FPM/Nginx ports
  2. Restart WSL/Docker/PC
  3. New symfony project
  4. Add php && nginx containers at the same network

docker-compose:

version: '3.7'
services:
  database:
    image: postgres:11-alpine
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: root
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: symfony
      POSTGRES_DB: main
    ports: 
      - 15432:5432
  php:
    build: ./docker/php
    ports: ['9001:9000']
    volumes: ['./symfony/:/var/www/symfony:cached']
    depends_on:
      - database
  nginx:
    build: ./docker/nginx
    ports: ['8000:80']
    volumes: ['./symfony/:/var/www/symfony:cached']
  adminer:
    image: adminer
    restart: always
    links:
      - database
    ports:
      - 8081:8080

symfony.conf:

    upstream php-upstream {
        server php:9001;
    }
    
    server {
       listen 80;
       root /var/www/symfony/public;

       }
    
       location ~ .php$ {
           return 404;
       }

  1. You are trying to use the port mapped on your host 9001 to connect to a container using its services name.

    You have two options:

    1. Use the port that the container is listening on 9000 in your nginx upstream. php:9000

    2. Forward the upstream to the host with host.docker.internal:9001.

    3. Bonus: use a Unix Socket, but that is a different ball game.

    When services share a network and have to communicate with each other, I would usually use the "internal" port. This way, you keep the network traffic within that network. So "solution 1" would be the best approach if you are using TCP/IP to connect. Plus, if you don’t need to connect from outside the Docker network, you don’t have to map the port on your host.

    So… this should work:

    upstream php-upstream {
        server php:9000;
    }
    
    server {
       listen 80;
       root /var/www/symfony/public;
       
       fastcgi_buffers 16 16k;
       fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
    
       location / {
          try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
       }
    
       location ~ ^/.+.php(/|$) {
          fastcgi_pass php-upstream;
          fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.*)$;
          include fastcgi_params;
          fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
          fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
          internal;
       }
    
       location ~ .php$ {
           return 404;
       }
    
       error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
       access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
    }

  2. I had the same problem. It was only because I was using CMD or ENTRYPOINT; they both prevent php-fpm from working properly.
