I am trying to connect to mysql server running on host machine (localhost) from a spring app running inside a docker container

this is my Dockerfile

FROM openjdk:11
ADD build/libs/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar demo.jar
EXPOSE 8000
RUN mkdir -p tmp/scripts
RUN mkdir -p tmp/logs
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","/demo.jar"]

I am using Docker desktop for mac v2.3.0.3 with engine version 19.03.8

This is may hikariCP datasource connection properties

spring.datasource.jdbcUrl=jdbc:mysql://**host.docker.internal:3306**/freshid
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=test

When I build docker build -f Dockerfile -t demo . and run the image as docker run -p 8000:8000 demo

I get the following error on application start up

Solution

  • I uninstalled and re-installed the docker (19.03.8) and it worked. The final connection string is jdbc:mysql://host.docker.internal:3306/db. This does not conclude any technical correctness but it worked. Thanks.
