Unable to access internal docker website by service name docker-compose

[godomainz]

This is my docker-compose.yml looks like

services: db: network_mode: bridge image: postgres:latest restart: always environment: POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password volumes: - ./postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data

web: network_mode: bridge depends_on: - db image: tomcat:8.5 restart: always links: - db selenoid: image: "aerokube/selenoid:latest-release" network_mode: bridge volumes: - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock - /config:/etc/selenoid/:ro - /video:/opt/selenoid/video environment: - OVERRIDE_VIDEO_OUTPUT_DIR=video links - web protractor: network_mode: bridge image: protractor:e2e depends_on: - web environment: QA_HOST: web QA_PORT: 8080 SELENOID_HOST : selenoid SELENOID_PORT : 4444 JAVA_HOME: /usr/local/java volumes: - PROJECT_FOLDER/e2e:/protractor - ${JAVA_HOME}:/usr/local/java links: - selenoid - web

As you can see in above yml my text cases are available in "protractor" container My Config has:

seleniumAddress:"http://"+process.env.SELENOID_HOST+":"+process.env.SELENOID_PORT+"/wd/hub",
baseUrl: "http://"+process.env.QA_HOST+":"+process.env.QA_PORT,

basically my code tries to access http://web:8080 . Which is my tomcat instance. But I'm getting This site can’t be reached

But if try to access http://www.google.com . It works fine, And without selenoid server by using directConnect: true. I can access http://web:8080 without any problem.

So if I simplyfy the issue I can load http://www.google.com which is outside url using selenoid. I can't load http://web:8080 which is my docker container using selenoid. Without using selenoid it works fine.

Is there anything I can do to fix this ?

@godomainz this is how Docker works. In order to access containers by name - you have to use custom networks (created with docker network create my-net) instead of bridge network. With your configuration - only Docker links will work.
