We run our site using docker on a droplet. I want to use DO’s newly released managed database (DB server) and have created a new cluster and imported the data. Both Droplet and DB cluster have private network enabled.
I can access the DB server from the droplet, but not from within a docker container running on the droplet. What do I need to configure in order for containers to gain access to resources within DO private network.

Hello,
I’m not sure if this could be achieved with a standalone private network but I think that you can achieve this now with the new DigitalOcean VPC networks.
