I created the Docker 17.06.0-ce on 16.04 Droplet and composed hospitalrun-server docker container. I done DNS config, installed nginx and configured ufw.

Docker compose file is here. I run my docker container with,

$ cd ~/works/hospitalrun-server
$ docker-compose up --build -d

My dockers are healthy

docker ps

netstat' command's output is

My nginx configuration file is

worker_processes 1;

events { worker_connections 1024; }

http {
    upstream website {
        server 172.18.0.6:8055;
    }

    server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
        #server_name 185.14.187.134 app.bulut.dental;
        server_name app.bulut.dental;

        gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript
                   text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://website;
            #include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
            #include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
        }
    }
}

Each http://185.14.187.134 and http://app.bulut.dental are produced the 502 gateway error. My nginx error' part is

2017/08/16 13:06:32 [error] 17602#17602: *9 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 162.158.111.10, server: app.bulut.dental, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://172.18.0.6:8055/", host: "app.bulut.dental"

I tested successfully hospitalrun-server in local machine but i get error in my droplet.

Can you offer any guide or tutorial for production environment (specifically docker)? Thanks for your time and interest
