Azure Blob Storage error in Django - Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111]

Question

I am setting up a local Azure Blob Storage using Docker container & Docker-compose. However, when I start creating blob containers and uploading files it throws me the error as below.

azure.common.AzureException: HTTPConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=10000): Max retries exceeded with url: /devstoreaccount1/quickstartblobs?restype=container (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f1068d0f748>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))

Here is my docker-compose:

  db:
    image: postgres
    volumes:
      - ./data/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data

You can remove the ports section for azurite service in your compose file and in your application provide the connection string and specify the blob endpoint (as mentioned here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azurite#connection-strings) as BlobEndpoint=http://azurite:10000

When you use docker local bridge (created for services where deployed using compose), container name if provided explicitly else the service name can be used to access the service.
