Can't connect to Database (MariaDB, Docker)
I've got an error during the installation / installation check.
I'm using:
- Docker
- Nextcloud 23.0.0
- MariaDB 10.5
- Media DC 0.1.8
That all runs on a Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB with a Ubuntu Server environment.
I've already looked through some issues here, but can't find a "simple" solution. So I think(hope that this issue can help others too.
That is the error log in the UI of Media DC:

Configuration errors
db_exception_handler:
Traceback (most recent call last):

sock.connect(self.unix_socket)
ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Cant connect to database.
The database container looks like the following:
19b785dc4569 | mariadb:10.5 | "docker-entrypoint.s…" | 4 days ago | Up 4 days | 3306/tcp | db_1
My dbport in my nextcloud config.php is empty (#11):
'dbport' => '',
@Bennneeeet can you show value(not a real one, you can replace it with xxx or some random, just to understand) for dbhost
Looks like a bug in parsing code, it tries to use unix socket when must use network connection....
@bigcat88 sure:
'dbhost' => 'db_nc',
@Bennneeeet can you comment line 101 in file MediaDC/lib/Service/python/db/manager.py and check will it helps with db connect?
This one in dev branch(in 0.1.8 store version it is line 101): https://github.com/andrey18106/mediadc/blob/d60203b272e311c0399dc0db108cd3dfeceb02ff/lib/Service/python/db/manager.py#L102
from this:
config['dbhost'] = ''
to this:
# config['dbhost'] = ''
With this change it works. No errors occurred when checking the installation, and a test task also ran well. 👍
Great and fast support/hot fix - thank you.
For other who will face the same problem, you can fix it with changing sources till update or add a port to dbhost, like this:
'dbhost' => 'db_nc:3306'
