Connection refused by Docker container - django

I've struggled with this for quite some time.
I have a Django application and I'm trying to package it into containers.
The problem is that when I publish to a certain port (8001) the host refuses my connection.
$ docker-machine ip default
192.168.99.100
When I try to curl or reach by browser 192.168.99.100:8001, the connection is refused.
C:\Users\meow>curl 192.168.99.100:8001
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 192.168.99.100 port 8001: Connection refused
First remark: I'm using Docker Toolbox.
Let's start from the docker-compose.yml file.
version: '2'
services:
db:
build: ./MongoDocker
image: ockidocky_mongo
web:
build: ./DjangoDocker
image: ockidocky
#volumes: .:/srv
ports:
- 8001:8000
links:
- db
Second remark: This file orginally gave me some trouble about permission building from scratch. To fix this, I built the images separately.
docker build -t ockidocky .
docker build -t ockidocky_mongo .
Here's the dockerfile for Mongo:
# Based on this tutorial. https://devops.profitbricks.com/tutorials/creating-a-mongodb-docker-container-with-an-attached-storage-volume/
# Removed some sudo here and there because they are useless in Docker for Windows
# Set the base image to use to Ubuntu

# Set the file mantainer

Dockerfile for Django is based on this other tutorial.
I won't include the code, but it works.
It's important to say that the last row is:
ENTRYPOINT ["/docker-entrypoint.sh"]
I changed the docker-entrypoint.sh to run without Gunicorn.
echo Start Apache server.
python manage.py runserver
At this point docker ps tells me that everything is up:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

2e2c2e7a5563 ockidocky_mongo "mongod --smallfiles" 2 hours ago Up 9 minutes 27017/tcp ockidocky_db_1
When I run a docker inspect ockidocky and about ports, it displays:
"Ports": {
"8000/tcp": [
{
"HostIp": "0.0.0.0",
"HostPort": "8001"
}
]
},
Is this dependant on mounting volumes?
It is one of the things I really can't figure out and gives me a lot of errors with Docker Toolbox.
As far as I can see everything worked fine during the build, and as far as I know the connection that was refused shouldn't depend on that.
EDIT:
After connectinc to the container and listing the processes with ps -aux, this is what I see:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 1 0.7 3.0 218232 31340 ? Ssl 20:15 0:01 python manage.p

root 33 0.0 0.2 34424 2884 ? R+ 20:18 0:00 ps -aux
P.s. Feel free to suggest how I can make this project easier for myself.

I solved the issue. I don't know why I had to specify the door on this line of docker-entrypoint.sh:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Now docker logs ockidocky_web_1 shows the usual django output messages.
If someone could give a proper explanation, I would be happy to edit and upvote.

I had the same problem and additionally, the ALLOWED_HOSTS in Django settings.py, need to include the docker machine IP.

It's mostly because of failure on the service you are going to run on your desired port(In your case the desired port is 8001)!
If any networking checks is OK and you don't have any problem with your network, just check your service which going to listen on your desired port! With the high chance of probabilty, your service is not loaded or ran successfully!
The check for your service depends on the service you are running, but sometimes(most of the times) docker logs YOUR_CONTAINER_ID could help to know more about your failure reason!

Why would varnish.service suddenly change its port? (From 80 to 6081)

I have a WordPress site with gunicorn and varnish running on an AWS instance.
This morning, the website gave a "502 Bad Gateway nginx" error.
Upon investigation, it looks like the varnish.service port was:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/varnishd -j unix,user=vcache -F -a :6081 -T localhost:6082 -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -S /etc/varnish/secret -s malloc,256m
According to some notes, the port needs to be 80 and not 6081. Changing the port to 80 fixed the nginx error.
This issue seems to happen about once a year where the varnish.service port suddenly changes by itself and someone has to manually change the port back to 80.
So my question is - why would varnish.service suddenly change its port? As far as I know, there were no updates or changes anywhere.
It depends on what file you're editing.
Make sure you're editing /etc/systemd/system/varnish.service. If that file isn't there, just run the following command:
sudo cp /lib/systemd/system/varnish.service /etc/systemd/system/
When you're done editing the port, just run the following 2 commands:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart
See https://www.varnish-software.com/developers/tutorials/installing-varnish-ubuntu/#systemd-configuration for a detailed tutorial.

Django redis docker: port is already allocated [duplicate]

When I run docker-compose up in my Docker project it fails with the following message:
Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:3000: bind: address already in use
netstat -pna | grep 3000
shows this:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -
I've already tried docker-compose down, but it doesn't help.
In your case it was some other process that was using the port and as indicated in the comments, sudo netstat -pna | grep 3000 helped you in solving the problem.
While in other cases (I myself encountered it many times) it mostly is the same container running at some other instance. In that case docker ps was very helpful as often I left the same containers running in other directories and then tried running again at other places, where same container names were used.
How docker ps helped me:
docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq) is a short command which I use to remove all containers.
Edit: Added how docker ps helped me.
This helped me:
docker-compose down # Stop container on current dir if there is a docker-compose.yml
docker rm -fv $(docker ps -aq) # Remove all containers
sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep <port number> # List who's using the port
and then:
kill -9 <process id> (macOS) or sudo kill <process id> (Linux).
Source: comment by user Rub21.
I had the same problem. I fixed this by stopping the Apache2 service on my host.
You can kill the process listening on that port easily with one command below :
kill -9 $(lsof -t -i tcp:<port#>)
ex :
kill -9 $(lsof -t -i tcp:<port#>)
or for ubuntu:
sudo kill -9 `sudo lsof -t -i:8000`
Man page for lsof : https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/lsof.8.html
-9 is for hard kill without checking any deps.
(Not related, but might be useful if its PORT 5000 mystery) - the culprit process is due to Mac OS monterery.
The port 5000 is commonly used to serve local development servers. When updating to the latest macOS operating system, I was unable the docker to bind to port 5000, because it was already in use. (You may find a message along the lines of Port 5000 already in use.)
By running lsof -i :5000, I found out the process using the port was named ControlCenter, which is a native macOS application. If this is happening to you, even if you use brute force (and kill) the application, it will restart itself. In my laptop, lsof -i :5000 returns that Control Center is being used by process id 433. I could do killall -p 433, but macOS keeps restarting the process.
The process running on this port turns out to be an AirPlay server. You can deactivate it in
System Preferences › Sharing, and unchecking AirPlay Receiver to release port 5000.
I had same problem,
docker-compose down --rmi all (in the same directory where you run docker-compose up)
helps
UPD: CAUTION - this will also delete the local docker images you've pulled (from comment)
For Linux/Unix:
Simple search for linux utility using following command
netstat -nlp | grep 8888
It'll show processing running at this port, then kill that process using PID (look for a PID in row) of that process.
kill PID
In some cases it is critical to perform a more in-depth debugging to the problem before stopping a container or killing a process.
Consider following the checklist below:
1) Check you current docker compose environment
Run docker-compose ps. If port is in use by another container, stop it with docker-compose stop <service-name-in-compose-file> or remove it by replacing stop with rm.
2) Check the containers running outside your current workspace
Run docker ps to see list of all containers running under your host.
If you find the port is in use by another container, you can stop it with docker stop <container-id>.
(*) Because you're not under the scope of the origin compose environment - it is a good practice first to use docker inspect to gather more information about the container that you're about to stop.
3) Check if port is used by other processes running on the host
For example if the port is 6379 run:
$ sudo netstat -ltnp | grep ':6379'
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:6379 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 915/redis-server 12
tcp6 0 0 ::1:6379 :::* LISTEN 915/redis-server 12
(*) You can also use the lsof command which is mainly used to retrieve information about files that are opened by various processes (I suggest running netstat before that).
So, In case of the output above the PID is 915. Now you can run:
$ ps j 915
PPID PID PGID SID TTY TPGID STAT UID TIME COMMAND
1 915 915 915 ? -1 Ssl 123 0:11 /usr/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379
And see the ID of the parent process (PPID) and the execution command.
You can also run: $ pstree -s <PID> to a visual display of the process and its related processes.
In our case we can see that the process probably is a daemon (PPID is 1) - In that case consider running: A) $ cat /proc/<PID>/status in order to get a more in-depth information about the process like the number of threads spawned by the process, its capabilities, etc'.
B) $ systemctl status <PID> in order to see the systemd unit that caused the creation of a specific process. If the service is not critical - you can stop and disable the service.
4) Restart Docker service
Run: sudo service docker restart.
5) You reached this point and..
Only if its not placing your system at risk - consider restarting the server.
In my case it was
Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:9000: bind: address already in use
And all that I need is turn off debug listening in php storm
Most probably this is because you are already running a web server on your host OS, so it conflicts with the web server that Docker is attempting to start.
So try this one-liner before trying anything else:
sudo service apache2 stop; sudo service nginx stop; sudo nginx -s stop;
I had apache running on my ubuntu machine. I used this command to kill it!
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
I was getting the below error when i was trying to launch a new container -
listen tcp 0.0.0.0:8080: bind: address already in use.
To check which process is running on port 8080, run below command:
netstat -tulnp | grep 8080
i got the output below
[root#ip-112-x6x-2x-xxx.xxxxx.compute.internal (aws_main) ~]# netstat -tulnp | grep 8080 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN **12749**/java [root#ip-112-x6x-2x-xxx.xxxxx.compute.internal (aws_main) ~]#
run
kill -9 12749
Then try to relaunch the container it should work
If redis server is started as a service, it will restart itself when you using kill -9 <process_id> or sudo kill -9 `sudo lsof -t -i:<port_number>` . In that case you will need to stop the redis service using following command.
sudo service redis-server stop
I upgraded my docker this afternoon and ran into the same problem. I tried restarting docker but no luck.
Finally, I had to restart my computer and it worked. Definitely a bug.
Check docker-compose.yml, it might be the case that the port is specified twice.
version: '3'
services:
registry:
image: mysql:5.7
ports:
- "3306:3306" <--- remove either this line or next
- "127.0.0.1:3306:3306"
Changing network_mode: "bridge" to "host" did it for me.
This with
version: '2.2'
services:
bind:
image: sameersbn/bind:latest
dns: 127.0.0.1
ports:
- 172.17.42.1:53:53/udp
- 172.17.42.1:10000:10000
volumes:
- "/srv/docker/bind:/data"
environment:
- 'ROOT_PASSWORD=secret'
network_mode: "host"
I ran into the same issue several times. Restarting docker seems to do the trick
A variation of #DmitrySandalov's answer: I had tomcat/java running on 8080, which needed to keep going. Looked at the docker-compose.yml file and altered the entry for 8080 to another of my choosing.
nginx:
build: nginx
ports:
#- '8080:80' <-- original entry
- '8880:80'
- '8443:443'
Worked perfectly. (The only wrinkle is the change will be wiped if I ever update the project, since it's coming from an external repo.)
At first, make sure which service you are running in your specific port. In your case, you are already using port number 3000.
netstat -aof | findstr :3000
now stop that process which is running on specific port
lsof -i tcp:3000
I resolve the issue by restarting Docker.
It makes more sense to change the port of the docker update instead of shutting down other services that use port 80.
Just a side note if you have the same issue and is with Windows:
In my case the process in my way is just grafana-server.exe. Because I first downloaded the binary version and double click the executable, and it now starts as a service by user SYSTEM which I cannot taskkill (no permission)
I have to go to "Service manager" of Windows and search for service "Grafana", and stop it. After that port 3000 is no longer occupied.
Hope that helps.
The one that was using the port 8888 was Jupiter and I had to change the configuration file of Jupiter notebook to run on another port.
to list who is using that specific port.
sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep 9
You can specify the port you want Jupyter to run uncommenting/editing the following line in ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py:
c.NotebookApp.port = 9999
In case you don't have a jupyter_notebook_config.py try running jupyter notebook --generate-config. See this for further details on Jupyter configuration.
Before it was running on :docker run -d --name oracle -p 1521:1521 -p 5500:5500 qa/oracle
I just changed the port to docker run -d --name oracle -p 1522:1522 -p 5500:5500 qa/oracle
it worked fine for me !
On my machine a PID was not being shown from this command netstat -tulpn for the in-use port (8080), so i could not kill it, killing the containers and restarting the computer did not work. So service docker restart command restarted docker for me (ubuntu) and the port was no longer in use and i am a happy chap and off to lunch.
maybe it is too rude, but works for me. restart docker service itself
sudo service docker restart
hope it works for you also!
I have run the container with another port, like... 8082 :-)
I came across this problem. My simple solution is to remove the mongodb from the system
Commands to remove mongodb in Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get purge mongodb mongodb-clients mongodb-server mongodb-dev
sudo apt-get purge mongodb-10gen
sudo apt-get autoremove
Let me add one more case, because I had the same error and none of the solutions listed so far works:
serv1:
...
networks:
privnet:
ipv4_address: 10.10.100.2
...
serv2:
...
# no IP assignment, no dependencies
networks:
privnet:
ipam:
driver: default
config:
- subnet: 10.10.100.0/24
depending on the init order, serv2 may get assigned the IP 10.10.100.2 before serv1 is started, so I just assign IPs manually for all containers to avoid the error. Maybe there are other more elegant ways.
I have the same problem and by stopping docker container it was resolved.
sudo docker container stop <container-name>
i solved with this sudo service redis-server stop

Docker/Django - How to make sure that all migrations are completed bofor application start?

at my dockerized Django application I have the following bash function at my docker-entrypoint.sh. This basically only checks if the database is available:
function check_mariadb {
while ! mysqladmin --user=$MYSQL_USER --password=$MYSQL_PASSWORD --host $MYSQL_HOST ping --silent &> /dev/null; do
echo "Waiting for MariaDB service to become available"
sleep 3
done
echo "MariaDB is up and available"
}
As my application can start in 3 modes (as application, Celery_worker or Celery_beat) I somehow have to make sure that all migration are done before celery starts. Otherwise I'm running into issues that celery is missing one of these tables:
django_celery_results_chordcounter
django_celery_results_groupresult
django_celery_results_taskresult
Can somebody give me a hint what might be the best practices to check for open migration in this context? And only let celery start if all migrations are done?!... Would be awesome if this could also be handled in a simple bash function like the one above.
Would be awesome If I could do more than just:
python manage.py showmigrations | grep '\[ \]'
Thanks in advance.
In your docker-compose.yaml, you can add a healthcheck to the Django container:
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "curl --fail http://localhost:8000/ || exit 1"]
interval: 10s
timeout: 5s
retries: 5
Then you can add depends_on to your celery/celerybeat container:
depends_on:
django:
condition: service_healthy
This will start the celery container only after the django healthcheck passes. In the healthcheck we simply poll localhost:8000, because when the server's returning responses, we can be sure the migrations have been applied.
There is a debian package called wait-for-it that this related thread discusses :
How to use wait-for-it in docker-compose file?
For example, I have set up a short celery.sh script file that I set as entrypoint for my beat and worker celery service in my compose file:
#!/bin/bash
set -o errexit
set -o pipefail
set -o nounset
wait-for-it web:8000
exec "$#"
Where "web" is the host name of my django service and 8000 the host port for the web service.

Can't connect to server running inside docker container (Docker for mac)

I have a docker container running on my system which i started using this command:
docker run -it -v ~/some/dir -p 8000:80 3cce3211b735 bash
Now docker ps lists this:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
44de7549d38e 3cce3211b735 "bash" 14 minutes ago Up 14 minutes 22/tcp, 443/tcp, 8082/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8000->80/tcp hardcore_engelbart
Inside the container i run my django app using the command : python manage.py runserver 80
But i am not able to view the page using either of these:
1.localhost:8000
2.127.0.0.1:8000
I do understand that my 8000 port is mapped to 80 port on the container. But why am i not able to access it. I am using docker for mac not docker toolbox. Please help and comment if you need any more info.
Okay so i found the solution to my problem. The issue was not in the docker port mapping. The actual problem is this line :
python manage.py runserver 80
This runs the server on 127.0.0.1:80 . The localhost inside the docker container is not the localhost on your machine . So the solution is running the server using this command :
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
I was able to access the webpage after this. If you run into the same problem where you are not able to connect to the django server running inside your docker container , you should try running the server on 0.0.0.0:port. You will be able to access it in your browser using localhost:port . Hope this helps someone.

How to 'clear' the port when restarting django runserver

Often, when restarting Django runserver, if I use the same port number, I get a 'port is already in use' message. Subsequently, I need to increment the port number each time to avoid this.
It's not the case on all servers, however, so I'm wondering how I might achieve this on the current system that I'm working on?
BTW, the platform is Ubuntu 8.10
I found this information (originally from Kristinn Örn Sigurðsson) to solve my problem:
To kill it with -9 you will have to list all running manage.py processes, for instance:
ps aux | grep -i manage
You'll get an output similar to this if you've started on many ports:
14770 8264 0.0 1.9 546948 40904 ? S Sep19 0:00 /usr/local/bin/python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8006
14770 15215 0.0 2.7 536708 56420 ? S Sep13 0:00 /usr/local/bin/python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8001
14770 30144 0.0 2.1 612488 44912 ? S Sep18 0:00 /usr/local/bin/python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
14770 30282 0.0 1.9 678024 40104 ? S Sep18 0:00 /usr/local/bin/python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8002
14770 30592 0.0 2.1 678024 45008 ? S Sep18 0:00 /usr/local/bin/python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8003
14770 30743 0.0 2.1 678024 45044 ? S Sep18 0:00 /usr/local/bin/python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8004
Then you'll have to select the pid (which is the second number on the left) for the right manage.py process (python manage.py runserver... etc) and do:
kill -9 pid
For the above example, if you wanted to free up port 8000, you'd do:
kill -9 30144
You're getting that message because the server is already running (possibly in the background). Make sure to kill the process (bring it to the foreground and press ctrl-c) to stop the process.
If the ps aux command (as per Meilo's answer) doesn't list the process that you wanted to kill but shows the port active in netstat -np | grep 8004 network activity, try this command (worked on Ubuntu).
sudo fuser -k 8004/tcp
where as, 8004 is the port number that you want to close.
This should kill all the processes associated with port 8004.
No, he's not an idiot guys. Same thing happens to me. Apparently it's a bug with the python UUID process with continues running long after the django server is shutdown which ties the port up.
fuser -k 8000/tcp
Run in terminal it works in ubutu. 8000 is the port.
This error is due to the server already running.
Background
I am answering on a more general level not specific to Django like the original question asks. So that those that land here from Google can easily fix the problem.
Solution
When you need to clear a port, all you need to do is these two steps
In the terminal run fg
Press Control-C (if on a mac)
Explanation
fg brings the process to the foreground. Then Control-C stops the server.
Example
I was actually having this issue with my port 8000 when running an angular app. I was getting an error when I ran npm start
So I ran fg, then I stopped the server with Control-C
Then I was able to successfully run the server
Type fg in the terminal to bring up the background task to the foreground.
Press Ctrl+C to close/stop the running server.
I use pkill -If 'manage.py' (-I means interactive, -f matches more than just the process name). See How to kill all processes with a given partial name? for more info on pkill.
sudo lsof -t -i tcp:8000 | xargs kill -9
If you want to free 8000 port than just copy command and paste in your cmd it will ask for sudo password. And then you are good to go.
If the port number that you are trying is 8001, then use this command
sudo fuser -k 8001/tcp
You do not want to simply increment the port number when restarting a Django server. This will result in having multiple instances of the Django server running simultaneously. A better solution is to kill the current instance and start a new instance.
To do this, you have multiple options. The easiest is
Python2: $ killall -9 python
Python3: $ killall -9 python3
If for some reason, this doesn't work, you can do
$ kill <pid> where <pid> is the process id found from a simple $ ps aux | grep python command.
netstat -tulpn |grep 8000|awk '{print $7}'|cut -d/ -f 1|xargs kill
Repost from https://stackoverflow.com/a/27138521/1467342:
You can use this script in place of ./manage.py runserver. I put it in scripts/runserver.sh.
#!/bin/bash
pid=$(ps aux | grep "./manage.py runserver" | grep -v grep | head -1 | xargs | cut -f2 -d" ")
if [[ -n "$pid" ]]; then
kill $pid
fi
fuser -k 8000/tcp
./manage.py runserver
Like mipadi said, you should be terminating the server (ctrl+c) and returning to the command prompt before calling manage.py runserver again.
The only thing that could be disrupting this would be if you've somehow managed to make runserver act as a daemon. If this is the case, I'm guessing you're using the Django test server as the actual web server, which you should NOT do. The Django test server is single threaded, slow and fragile, suitable only for local development.
In Leopard, I bring on the Activity Monitor and kill python. Solved.
Happened so often that I wrote an alias to kill the process with python in the name (careful if you have other such processes). Now I just run (no Ubuntu)
kill $(ps | grep "python" | awk "{print $1}")
You can even add python manage.py runserver ... to the same alias so you can restart with two keystrokes.
You must have been doing control + z .. Instead do control + c that will kill the server session... Cheers!!!
Add the following library in manage.py
import os
import subprocess
import re
Now add the following python code after if __name__ == "__main__":
ports = ['8000']
popen = subprocess.Popen(['netstat', '-lpn'],
shell=False,

pattern = pattern.format(')|(?:'.join(ports))
prog = re.compile(pattern)

if match:
pid = match.group('pid')
subprocess.Popen(['kill', '-9', pid])
