How to run Memgraph Lab docker image?

I've found Memgraph Lab as Docker image at https://hub.docker.com/r/memgraph/lab/tags. I've puled it using docker pull memgraph/lab:latest. When I try to run it using Docker Desktop I get the message that Lab is running "2024-01-30 09:24:40 [2024-01-30 08:24:39.801] INFO: [lab] Lab is running at http://localhost:3000 in docker mode" but when I connect to localhost:3000 I get no response.

Docker desktop

Localhost error

I know that I can run Memgraph Lab from within Platfom using docker run -p 3000:3000 memgraph/memgraph-platform -c /etc/supervisor/supervisord-lab-only.conf but I'd like to use this Lab only image.

Solution

  • By the look of the screenshot, it looks like you are using Docker Desktop. On Mac and Windows, you must add an environmental variable QUICK_CONNECT_MG_HOST=host.docker.internal. On Linux machines, this isn't needed.

    After you start the Memgraph docker image you can then run Memgraph Lab with

    docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -e QUICK_CONNECT_MG_HOST=host.docker.internal memgraph/lab:latest
