Redis – Rails docker postgres Connection refused

I’m trying to dockerize my Rails application, but I have this error when I want to run it with docker-compose:

! Unable to load application: PG::ConnectionBad: could not connect to server: Connection refused
    Is the server running on host "postgres" (127.0.0.1) and accepting
    TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

my docker-compose file is:

version: '2'
services:
  web:
    build: .
    image: cda_app
    container_name: "cda_app_web"
    ports:
      - '127.0.0.1:${WEB_PORT}:3000'
    env_file: .env
    volumes:
      - gems:/gems
      - ./:/var/www/app
    logging:
      driver: 'json-file'
      options:
        max-size: '100m'
        max-file: '5'
    links:
      - redis
      - postgres
    entrypoint: 'bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb'
  redis:
    image: 'redis'
    volumes:
      - redis:/data
      - redis_log:/var/log/redis
  postgres:
    image: 'postgres:12.4'
    volumes:
      - postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
      - postgres_log:/var/log/postgresql
volumes:
  gems:
  redis:
  redis_log:
  postgres:
  postgres_log:

Dockerfile:

ARG BASE_IMAGE=ruby:2.7.1
FROM $BASE_IMAGE

RUN apt-get update && 
  apt-get install -y 
    apt-utils 
    build-essential 
    cmake

    libpq-dev 
    openssh-client 
    rename 
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | bash && apt-get install -y nodejs
RUN npm install -g yarn

WORKDIR /var/www/app

COPY . .

RUN rename -f -v 's/.sample//' config/*sample.yml

EXPOSE 3000

CMD ./bin/puma -b tcp://0.0.0.0:3000

my database.yml:

default: &default
  pool: <%= ENV["DB_POOL"] %>
  template: 'template0'
  adapter: 'postgresql'
  database: <%= ENV["DB_NAME"] %>
  username: <%= ENV["DB_USER"] %>
  host: <%= ENV["DB_HOST"] %>
  port: <%= ENV["DB_PORT"] %>
  password: <%= ENV["DB_PASSWORD"] %>
  timeout: 5000
  encoding: 'utf8'
  min_messages: WARNING

development:
  <<: *default
  database: <%= ENV["DB_NAME"] %>_development

test:
  <<: *default
  database: <%= ENV["DB_NAME"] %>_test<%= ENV['TEST_ENV_NUMBER'] %>

production:
  <<: *default
  database: <%= ENV["DB_NAME"] %>_production

.env file:


DB_NAME=cda_database
DB_HOST=postgres
DB_USER=postgres
DB_PASSWORD=postgres
DB_PORT=5432
DB_POOL=5

I can’t understand what I’m doing wrong?!
It seems I did everything correctly, but I’m getting the error.
I’m using Digitalocean. Also, the database is working outside of docker, but it can’t be accessible in docker.

    You can try it in docker-compose file. I hope it working

    postgres:
  image: 'postgres:12.4'
  volumes:
    - postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    - postgres_log:/var/log/postgresql
  environment:
    - POSTGRES_USER= postgres
    - POSTGRES_PASSWORD= postgres

    You can write the environment variables each one for postgresql in docker-compose.yml, example:

    version: '2'
services:
  web:
    build: .
    image: cda_app
    container_name: "cda_app_web"
    ports:
      - '127.0.0.1:${WEB_PORT}:3000'
    env_file: .env
    volumes:
      - gems:/gems
      - ./:/var/www/app
    logging:
      driver: 'json-file'
      options:
        max-size: '100m'
        max-file: '5'
    links:
      - redis
      - postgres
    entrypoint: 'bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb'
  redis:
    image: 'redis'
    volumes:
      - redis:/data
      - redis_log:/var/log/redis
  postgres:
    image: 'postgres:12.4'
    volumes:
      - postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
      - postgres_log:/var/log/postgresql
  environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: "${DB_PASSWORD}"
      POSTGRES_USER: "${DB_USER}"
      POSTGRES_DB: "${DB_NAME}"

volumes:
  gems:
  redis:
  redis_log:
  postgres:
  postgres_log:

    Be aware that the file .env must be in the same directory than your docker-compose.yml
