Docker nginx: [emerg] host not found in upstream “web:3000”

Question

I released my reactJs application. I have code information as below. But I get the error “11 # 11: host not found in upstream”. where could i have made a mistake Could you help ?

I get an upStream error even though my docker, nginx, and docker-compose file is correct. I had run the same codes before but I could not find where I made changes.

I’ve been researching for 2 days, but I get an upstream not found error.

I couldn’t find where I made a mistake. please can you help with the solution ?

I added the screenshot, it gives upstream not found error. I can’t find a solution https://ibb.co/10BH3bv 1

web: I tried ports like 80, 443 but it is not resolved

I am having nearly identical issue. If you connect to the nginx container you will find that you cannot resolve external URL from within, it is not using your host DNS. I connect with $docker exec -it container_name /bin/bash

I have not been able to find a way to use docker-compose networking (i.e. linking between containers, depends_on) AND set DNS to access external hosts.

has anyone else solved this?

Clay Herendeen · Answer

@pkraak , It could be possible that the containers you are trying to link may not be on the same network. You could try putting them all on the same network: services: example_service_1: image: example_service_1/image container_name: example_service_1 ... ... networks: - example-net example_service_2: image: example_service_2/image container_name: example_service_2 ... ... networks: - example-net nginx: image: nginx container_name: nginx ports: - 80:80 - 443:443 ... ... networks: - example-net networks: example-net: external: true

Bobby · Answer

Hi there @turkdoktoru , I believe that the problem is caused by the depends_on directive, currently, your web service depends on the Nginx service, but it has to be the other way around. You need to have your web service up and running first before bringing up your Nginx service otherwise the Nginx service would fail as it would not find the web service. Let me know how it goes!Regards,Bobby
