Troubleshooting Connection Timeout in Dockerized Laravel with MongoDB

When developing applications using Laravel and MongoDB within Docker, one of the common hurdles developers face is the dreaded ConnectionTimeoutException. This error typically occurs when your artisan migrate command fails to connect to the MongoDB service. In this guide, we’ll explore the underlying issues and provide effective solutions to get your database migrations running smoothly.

Understanding the Issue

If you’re running Laravel in a Docker environment, you might find that executing the migration command results in an error like this:

This error suggests that the application cannot find or connect to the MongoDB container. It often arises due to misconfigurations in your Docker setup or network settings. Let’s break down the problem and present actionable solutions to fix it.

Solution Overview

There are two primary solutions that can help you resolve the connection timeout issue in your Dockerized environment:

Adjust the Network Configuration

Modify the Laravel MongoDB Configuration

1. Adjust the Network Configuration

One of the most common causes for connection issues in Docker is improper networking. When containers are not on the same network, they cannot communicate with one another. To ensure each service can access MongoDB, follow these steps:

Verify the Network Declaration: Ensure that all services, including your MongoDB service, are declared within the same network in your docker-compose.yml file. In this case, our network is called laravel, so all services must be defined as part of it.

Example:

Make sure all services (site, php, mongodb, etc.) reference this network.

2. Modify the Laravel MongoDB Configuration

Another common cause of the ConnectionTimeoutException is an incorrect MongoDB host configuration. You may need to adjust the host value in your Laravel database configuration to ensure proper connectivity.

Update the Host in Your Database Configuration: In your config/database.php file, check the MongoDB settings and ensure that the host is set correctly. For Docker, the host typically should be the name of the MongoDB service as defined in your docker-compose.yml.

Example:

Running the Migrations

After confirming that your network and configuration settings are correct, you should be able to run your migration command successfully with the following command:

Conclusion

Dealing with connection timeout issues in a Dockerized Laravel application can be frustrating, but with the right network configurations and database settings, you can resolve these problems efficiently. By ensuring all services communicate on the same network and that your MongoDB configuration is set up correctly, you can avoid common pitfalls associated with Docker and Laravel.
