GoLang service can't hit Postgres using docker compose

I have an HTML service written in Go. It uses Postgres, but when bringing it all together using docker compose I get " dial tcp 0.0.0.0:5432: connect: connection refused"

Works when building launching service using just docker and referencing a running image of Postgres

snippet of call from go


    psqlInfo := fmt.Sprintf("host=%s port=%s user=%s password=%s dbname=%s sslmode=disable", host, port, user, password, dbname)

    db, err := sql.Open("postgres", psqlInfo)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return nil, err
    }

for my own confirmation when debugging

    host = os.Getenv("pgHost")
    port = os.Getenv("pgPort")
    user = os.Getenv("pgUser")
    password = os.Getenv("pgPassword")
    dbname = os.Getenv("pgDbName")

    fmt.Println("host = ", host)
    fmt.Println("port = ", port)
    fmt.Println("user = ", user)
    fmt.Println("password = ", password)
    fmt.Println("dbname = ", dbname)

fixed it now

I was referencing localhost rather than the docker container host

by using the link "links: postgres-db" I needed to make sure my service was looking for the host "postgres-db" and not "0.0.0.0" or "localhost"

version: '3.5'
services:
    app:
      build: .
      ports:
        - "7000:7000"
      environment:
        pgHost: "postgres-db"
        pgPort: 5432
        pgUser: "postgres"
        pgPassword: "postgres_docker"
        pgDbName: "postgres"      
        dbType: "POSTGRES"
      depends_on:
        - postgres-db
      links:
        - postgres-db

    postgres-db:
      image: postgres:latest
      restart: always
      environment:
        POSTGRES_PASSWORD: "postgres_docker"
        POSTGRES_DB: "postgres"
        POSTGRES_USER: "postgres"
        POSTGRES_HOST: "0.0.0.0"
        POSTGRES_PORT: 5432
        PGDATA: /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_data
      ports:
        - "5432:5432"
      volumes:
        - ./scripts/postgres/schema.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/1-schema.sql
        - ./scripts/postgres/table.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/2-table.sql

You should use postgres-db(better to give it simple name without dash, db for example) for database host setting, instead of 0.0.0.0

A container is created using postgres-db's configuration. It joins the network under the name postgres-db.

Each container can look up the hostname app or postgres-db and get back the appropriate container’s IP address. For example, app’s application code could connect to the URL postgres://postgres-db:5432 and start using the Postgres database.

Here is more information
