When running multiple containers, you can use the container's name as the hostname to communicate between the containers.
However, make sure the following:
- Ensure that your containers have unique names in the task definition. You can use these names as hostnames for inter-container communication.
- Use container name as the hostname: When trying to connect to another container within the same task definition, use <container_name>:<port> as the target address. For example, if you want to connect to the container running on port 5000, use <container_name>:5000.
- Ensure that your gunicorn servers are binding to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1. Binding to 0.0.0.0 allows connections from all network interfaces, while binding to 127.0.0.1 only allows connections from the same container. You can bind to 0.0.0.0 using the following command:
gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:5000 app:app
-
If your containers are running in an Amazon ECS environment, verify that the security groups associated with your task allow incoming traffic on ports 80 and 5000.
-
Check the logs of your gunicorn servers and the third container to identify any configuration issues or error messages that could indicate the cause of the connection problem.
