The database isn't running in a container; it's directly on the host? — David Maze, Nov 19 '22 at 19:08

If you are on Docker Desktop with WSL2 you can use host.docker.internal other than that you need to get the Gateway Ip from here: docker network inspect bridge it might be 172.17.0.1. Also to do this you don't want to use a specific network in your compose file but use the default one.
