sailsJs mongodb connection error in docker container

Question

Unable to connect sailsJs dockerimage to mongodb. I am having issue while connecting mongodb running on local machine, not as mongo image.

mongodb is running on localhost:27017

error: Error: Failed to connect to MongoDB.  Are you sure your configured Mongo instance is running?

 Error details: {
     Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0 .0 .1: 27017
     at Object.exports._errnoException(util.js: 1020: 11)

 }

If the container is running in a docker engine in the same host where your MongoDB server is running, you should try to run your docker container using --net=host if you want your container to be able to reach 127.0.0.1/localhost in the same host. I nice answer can be found here.

If you're using docker engine in a VM you may have to change the localhost IP for the public/private IP assigned to your mongodb server host.

tried with --net=host it didnt work. any example for connecting localhost inside container will be helpful. – Ravi Kumar Gupta Dec 20 '17 at 11:01
What OS are you using for your mongo server and your docker engine? – Miguel A. C. Dec 20 '17 at 11:45
