I have created an ecs fargate task and there are two containers(node.js app container and mongodb container) in it. The problem is when I create service from that task definition,Node.js app can't connect to mongodb container with username and password.It said AuthenticationFailed with code:18.The service runs in awsvpc network mode.
I have configure my mongodb container with env variables like this.
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=mydbuser
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=mydbpassword
MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE=my-db
And in node.js app container,
MONGODB_USERNAME = mydbuser
MONGODB_PASSWORD = mydbpassword
MONGODB_URL = localhost
I use localhost for MONGODB_URL because AWS Docs says when you run your fargate task in awsvpc network mode,Containers that belong to the same task can communicate over the localhost interface.
and the connection string in node.js code is like this.
mongoose.connect(`mongodb://${process.env.MONGODB_USERNAME}:${process.env.MONGODB_PASSWORD}@${process.env.MONGODB_URL}:27017/my-db?authSource=admin`,
{
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true,
},
(err) => {
if (err) {
console.error('FAILED TO CONNECT TO MONGODB');
console.error(err);
} else {
console.log('CONNECTED TO MONGODB!!');
app.listen(80);
}
}
);
But the node.js app container can't connect to mongodb,It always says authentication failed and exit.Please can you help me what I'm missing.
Here is the logs from node.js container.
FAILED TO CONNECT TO MONGODB
mongodb://mydbuser:mydbpassword:27017/my-db?authSource=admin
MongoError: Authentication failed.
