Help needed with tinode server docker installation

[Shailendra Maurya]

I followed the installation instructions given at: https://github.com/tinode/chat/blob/master/docker/README.md

(Except the optional ones)

But, when I tried running the container, it shows following error on tinode-srv log:

2023/09/03 07:40:18 Database adapter: 'postgres'; version: 113

2023/09/03 07:40:18 Failed to init DB adapter: failed to connect to `host=localhost user=postgres database=tinode`: dial error (dial tcp [::1]:5432: connect: network is unreachable)

./init-db failed. Quitting.

2023/09/03 08:00:01 Database adapter: 'postgres'; version: 113

2023/09/03 08:00:01 Failed to init DB adapter: failed to connect to `host=localhost user=postgres database=tinode`: dial error (dial tcp [::1]:5432: connect: network is unreachable)

./init-db failed. Quitting.

What's gone wrong??

Thanks in advance :-)

It looks like your setup expects postgress to be in the same container as Tinode server. Obviously, it's not there: 

connect: network is unreachable

I am having this exact same issue. Is something missing in the documentation here: https://github.com/tinode/chat/blob/master/docker/README.md

Step 1. Install Docker

Step 2: `docker network create tinode-net`

Step 3: `docker run --name postgres --network tinode-net --restart always --env POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<my_secret> -d postgres:13` (for Postgres)

Step 4: `$ docker run -p 6060:6060 -d --name tinode-srv --network tinode-net tinode/tinode-postgres:latest` (again, for Postgres)

The Docs make it seem like it should be that simple. But what happens is the tinode-srv container runs for a few seconds and then dies. Checking the logs for that container:

```

2024/11/19 15:21:27 Database adapter: 'postgres'; version: 113
2024/11/19 15:21:27 Failed to init DB adapter: failed to connect to `host=localhost user=postgres database=tinode`: dial error (dial tcp [::1]:5432: connect: connection refused)

```

The postgres container is running on port: 5432:

```

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE         COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS      NAMES
2507188f0740   postgres:13   "docker-entrypoint.s…"   7 minutes ago   Up 7 minutes   5432/tcp   postgres

```

I also tried creating a docker-compose.yml file and dumping the postgres and tinode-srv services in there. I get the exact same issue/behavior.

Based on the official Docs linked above, these are two separate containers, using the same docker network. I'm not understanding why they are not seeing each other.

For Step 3, I changed the default password of "postgres" to my own passphrase. Is that the problem? Is the tinode-srv container actually expecting to connect to postgres with that default password?
