502 Bad Gateway/ failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream

Question

I have the following docker-compose xml

web:
  build: nginx/.
  container_name: nginx
  ports:
    - "80:80"
  links:
    - "openchain"
  restart: always
wallet:
  build: wallet/.
  container_name: wallet
  ports:
    - "81:81"
  restart: always
  read_only: false
  volumes:
    - ./www:/usr/share/nginx/html:rw
  working_dir: /user/share/nginx/html
openchain:
  build: openchain/.
  ports:
    - "8080"
  volumes:
    - ./data:/openchain/data
  restart: always

And the following conf for web and wallet respectively

worker_processes 4;

events { worker_connections 1024; }

http {
    server {
        listen 80;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;

            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        }
    }
}

and

worker_processes 4;

events { worker_connections 1024; }

http {

server {
    listen 81;

    location / {
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
}

}

when I run docker ps I get

    05e351c8f8db        openchain_web         "nginx -g 'daemon off"   5 seconds ago       Up 5 seconds        0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 443/tcp    nginx
    e7401ea7c5bc        openchain_wallet      "nginx -g 'daemon off"   5 seconds ago       Up 5 seconds        80/tcp, 443/tcp,
0.0.0.0:81->81/tcp   wallet
    40439fdb1c69        openchain_openchain   "dotnet openchain.dll"   5 seconds ago       Up 5 seconds        0.0.0.0:32774->8080/tcp        openchain_openchain_1

But when I try to access the port openchain_openchain via proxy openchain_web I get the subject error

I'm new to docker so I'm not sure I'm proxying correctly with the nginx

Can you tell me what I did wrong?

P.S. I can access wallet just fine

Solution

I used this configuration in my NGINX config where appsrv is the name of the docker-compose.yml service for the fastcgi image

server {

    #listen 80 default_server;
    listen 80;
    #server_name xxxxxxxxx.com;
    index index.php index.html;
    root /var/www/html;

    location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
        fastcgi_split_path_info  ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_index            index.php;
        fastcgi_pass             appsrv:9000;
        include                  fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param   PATH_INFO       $fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }

    client_max_body_size 200M;

}

As the new answer states, you must connect to the name of the other container, not to 127.0.0.1.

Right. You have to connect to the name of the other container, not to 127.0.0.1.
