Localhost Mongoose connection

Hi,
I’m trying to do a simple docker app with NodeJS and MongoDB.

This is my docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3'
services:
  web:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: ./Dockerfile
    container_name: wiki-app
    working_dir: /usr/src/app
    env_file: ./.env
    volumes:
      - .:/usr/src/app
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    depends_on:
      - mongo
    command:
      - /bin/sh
      - -c
      - |
          make -C /usr/src/app/ start-local
    networks:
    - wiki-network

  mongo:
    image: mongo:latest
    container_name: wiki-db
    ports:
      - 27017:27017
    volumes:
      - wiki-db:/data/db
    networks:
    - wiki-network

networks:
  wiki-network:
    driver: bridge

volumes:
  wiki-db:

My app.js:

'use strict';
const express = require('express');
const https = require('https');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const process = require('process');
const cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
const logger = require('morgan');
const path = require('path');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');

// Constants
const PORT = 3000;
const HOST = '0.0.0.0';

const app = express();
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.use(express.static('public'));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));

// get env variable
const envFilePath = path.resolve(__dirname, './.env');
const env = require("dotenv").config({ path: envFilePath });
if (env.error) {
  throw new Error(`Unable to load the .env file from ${envFilePath}. Please copy .env.example to ${envFilePath}`);
}

//MongoDB Connect
// mongoose.connect('mongodb://wiki:wiki@localhost:27017/wiki', {useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true});
//Set up default mongoose connection
var mongoDB = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/wiki';
mongoose.connect(mongoDB, {
  useNewUrlParser: true,
  useUnifiedTopology: true,
  useFindAndModify: false,
  useCreateIndex: true
});

//Get the default connection
var db = mongoose.connection;

//Bind connection to error event (to get notification of connection errors)
db.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'MongoDB connection error:'));

// const articleSchema = {
//   title: String,
//   content: String
// };
//
// const Article = mongoose.model("Article", articleSchema);

//Server listening
app.listen(PORT, HOST);
console.log(`Running on http://${HOST}:${PORT}`);

My package.js

{
  "name": "wiki",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "nodejs wiki",
  "author": "",
  "license": "MIT",
  "main": "app.js",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon app.js"
  },
  "keywords": [
    "nodejs",
    "express"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "body-parser": "^1.19.0",
    "cookie-parser": "~1.4.4",
    "dotenv": "^8.2.0",
    "ejs": "^3.1.6",
    "express": "~4.17.1",
    "mongoose": "^5.13.3",
    "morgan": "~1.9.1",
    "nodemon": "2.0.12",
    "query-string": "^7.0.0",
    "require": "^0.4.4"
  }
}

When I run docker-compose up, after about 15 seconds I got this error:

Thanks for you help.

Hi,
finally I found the problem and I hope this is useful for someone.
I changed ‘localhost’ with ‘mongo’ here:

var mongoDB = ‘mongodb://localhost:27017/wiki’;

mongo is the service name in the docker-compose.yaml
