docker + golang lib/pq "dial tcp 127.0.0.1:5432: connect: connection refused"
10,171
Using the connection string as a URL worked:
url := fmt.Sprintf("postgres://%v:%v@%v:%v/%v?sslmode=disable",
pql.conf.Postgres.User,
pql.conf.Postgres.Password,
pql.conf.Postgres.Host,
pql.conf.Postgres.Port,
pql.conf.Postgres.DB)
See lib/pq docs here: https://godoc.org/github.com/lib/pq
I was stuck on this for more than a day and I owe the fix to Nikolay Sandalov's comment here in GitHub: https://github.com/coreos/clair/issues/134#issuecomment-491300639
Thank you, Nikolay 🙇🏻♂️

sql.Open()
wouldn't error:if db, err = sql.Open("postgres", url); err != nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("Postgres connect error : (%v)", err) }
but
db.Ping()
would error:if err = db.Ping(); err != nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("Postgres ping error : (%v)", err) }
and it was simply because the lib/pq connection string wouldn't connect from within a docker container with the seperated connection parameters.
For example:
url := fmt.Sprintf("user=%v password=%v host=%v port=%v dbname=%v", rs.conf.Redshift.User, rs.conf.Redshift.Password, rs.conf.Redshift.Host, rs.conf.Redshift.Port, rs.conf.Redshift.DB)

Pop into the chat if you want. Please flag this comment as "no longer needed" once you see it to keep this Q&A tidy.
