Currently I'm using the command docker run -p 6030-6042:6030-6042/tcp -p 6030-6040:6030-6040/udp --name taosd tdengine/tdengine to start a TDengine server, and then connect it with taos shell in another container with docker run --rm -it tdengine/tdengine taos -h <host ip>. It connects ok, but when inserting data into a table, it causes error:

  • You shouldn't usually need the host IP here. Do the techniques in [How to communicate between Docker containers via "hostname"](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30545023/how-to-communicate-between-docker-containers-via-hostname) help? (If you `docker run --net` both containers on the same network, you can use the `taosd` container name as a host name from the client container; ignore the very old answers about Docker links.) – David Maze Dec 20 '21 at 03:07

TDengine connecting is based on FQDN(hostname if it familiar to you) - which requires DNS resolution for the server end point).

In your case, first set the hostname in start: docker run --hostname taosd ..., and then echo <your ip> taosd >> /etc/hosts in your shell located container or host. then you can connect it with taos -h taosd (here we use taosd as the TDengine server container hostname, all the connections should use hostname to resolve the real ip.)

Steps:

  1. start TDengine server:

    docker run --rm --hostname taosd \
  -p 6030-6042:6030-6042/tcp -p 6030-6040:6030-6040/udp \
  --name taosd tdengine/tdengine

  2. start another container as client:

    docker run --rm -it --add-host taosd:<your ip> tdengine/tdengine taos -h taosd

    --add-host will add an dns resolvation line in /etc/hosts.

    <your ip> you could use the external IP or get the container ip by docker inspect taosd |jq '.[0].NetworkSettings.Networks[].IPAddress' -r.

  3. now insert data with your sql:

    create database if not exists test;
use test;
create table if not exists tb1 (ts timestamp, n int);
insert into tb1 values (now, 1);

All done.
