I am trying to connect two docker containers, one posgresql and the other a python flask application. both are linking correctly, all connection variables in the python app are taken directly from the ones in the postgres container that are exposed via linking and are identical to those found when inspecting the postgresql container. when I use psql with the exact parameters from the connection string i.e:
psql -p 5432 -h 172.17.0.2 -d mydb -U user
connection to the database in the postgres container is successful, so I know that postgres is communicating correctly over the specified ports etc. however, when I attempt to connect to the database via flask with the same connection variables I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/pool.py", line 1122, in _do_get return self._pool.get(wait, self._timeout) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/util/queue.py", line 145, in get raise Empty sqlalchemy.util.queue.Empty
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

below is the code in my flask app leading up to the exception:
import os, logging, json
from datetime import datetime
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from sqlalchemy import BigInteger, Integer, String, DateTime, Column, Table, ForeignKey, create_engine
from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql import JSON
from sqlalchemy.orm import scoped_session, sessionmaker, relationship
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
user = os.environ.get('DB_USER','user')
password = os.environ.get('DB_PASSWORD','password')
address = os.environ.get('DB_ADDR','0.0.0.0')
port = os.environ.get('DB_PORT','')
name = os.environ.get('DB_NAME','')
db_url = "postgresql://%s:%s@%s:%s/%s" % (user, password, address, port, name)
engine = create_engine(db_url, convert_unicode=True, client_encoding='utf8')
print (engine)
engine.connect()
when I log the "engine" I get this:
Engine(postgresql://user:***@172.17.0.2:5432/mydb)
which again matches the parameters used in succesful database connection with the database from my host computer.
I'm assuming there must be something wrong with my python code since the docker containers appear by all accounts to be working correctly.
any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
