Docker?

    When I try to install my backup made with Duplicator 1.5.9 in my freshly made Docker WordPress container, using bind, I can neither connect to localhost when doing the validation —?Error: “Unable to connect the user [db-user] to the host [localhost]. The server error response was: No such file or directory‘ “— nor to 127.0.0.1 — Error: “Unable to connect the user [db-user] to the host [127.0.0.1]. The server error response was: Connection refused‘ “.

    However, I can use the same credentials to connect locally through my OS (mac) with any DB app, or I can issue docker exec -it from Docker Desktop and connect through the CLI. I can create and see tables no problem. If I instead use wordpress (another build) as is it works just as fine. But duplicator does not. I do make sure to delete everything for each run.

    in the dup-installer-log… file you can read pretty much the same thing, except it also states under “INSTALLER ERROR:” that “DATABASE: NULL”, which is surprising given I’ve supplied that. The same is true for both “127.0.0.1” as well as “localhost”.

    What can be done?

    I’m afraid I gave up. This is either my fault, in which case it doesn’t matter, or it’s systemic with Duplicator on Docker, in which case it’s not my problem.
    I’m moving to another hand-built solution for a WordPress site <> Docker Site using CI/CD. This doesn’t mean Duplicator isn’t great, because it is. It’s just not a great fit for this migration of mine.

    The host is what you define in docker-compose.yml, usually db

    Yes, as I said the host was defined in all the scenarios I described including fresh wordpress, which worked. In all scenarios the db was reachable, just not from wp in the case of the Duplicator installation.

    If you think a fresh WP site and a Duplicator install should be set up differently in Docker, please share.
