Services can only discover each other by hostname within the same Docker network. This fix adds an explicit `patchmon-internal` bridge network that all services (database, redis, backend, frontend) connect to, enabling reliable service discovery in both Docker Compose and Docker Swarm environments.
Changes:
- Added `patchmon-internal` network definition to docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.dev.yml
- Connected all services to the internal network for service-to-service communication
- Added comprehensive Docker Swarm documentation to docker/README.md with network configuration guidance and troubleshooting for the "host not found in upstream" error
This resolves the nginx error users experienced when deploying to Docker Swarm with the frontend on a separate network from the backend.
Added DB_IDLE_TIMEOUT and DB_MAX_LIFETIME to both production and dev Docker Compose files to complete the connection pool configuration. These variables were already documented but missing from the compose files.
Blame my ADHD brain
Sorry
- Now we have the server working properly in automation using BullMQ and Redis
- It also presents an API endpoint that is used to accept connections for websockets by agents (WS or WSS)
- Updated the docker-compose.yml and its documentation
