Pycharm + docker-compose, django server is not responding!

Hi,

Please elaborate on what do you mean by "server not found" ?

You're not getting a response on HTTP request? Is the execution paused on any breakpoint in that moment?

The request doesn't reach the server, host not found. like If I would access a server that does not exist

Please specify what kind of request are you taking about and how do you send it.

Is it working if you run the configuration without debugger from PyCharm?

Same issue here. I'm making a request from a browser to the django server running in the container. Tried both 127.0.0.1:8000 and 0.0.0.0:8000 to no avail. Both used to work in previous versions of pycharm. Mine also works if I run it from terminal with `docker-compose -f local.yml up`

@Isaac

So you are able to open http://0.0.0.0:8000/ in your browser but then you cannot make any requests?

Correct. For example, Firefox and cURL say they fail because “connection was reset”

Do you have the same problem if you start your Django server from the system terminal (outside of PyCharm) by running the same command PyCharm does?

When I run it from a terminal instead of a PyCharm run config, it connects and the site works. When using the run config, it won't connect.

Hmmm, that's odd.

There is probably something in run configuration that causing this since when you run the same command as PyCharm from the system terminal and it doesn't have this issue.

Does it work with our example from the documentation https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/using-docker-compose-as-a-remote-interpreter.html? There is a link to a project on GitHub.

I tried to reproduce on different OS, but it works fine.

Hi same error for me, I'm using Pycharm 2019.1. When I use command line my django app works fine, but not when I use pycharm. when I check the configuration. I see that Pycharm override my docker-compose configuration. If I check this config I see 

services:
web:
command:
- "/usr/bin/python3"
- "-u"
- "/opt/project/manage.py"
- "runserver"
- "8000"
environment:
PYTHONPATH: "/opt/project:/opt/.pycharm_helpers/pycharm_matplotlib_backend:/opt/.pycharm_helpers/pycharm_display"
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: "five_backend.settings.local"
PYTHONUNBUFFERED: "1"
PYTHONIOENCODING: "UTF-8"
PYCHARM_HOSTED: "1"
PYCHARM_DISPLAY_PORT: "62101"
stdin_open: true
volumes:
- "/Users/yavin4/dev/five-backend:/opt/project:rw"
- "pycharm_helpers_PY-191.6183.50:/opt/.pycharm_helpers"
working_dir: "/opt/project"
volumes:
pycharm_helpers_PY-191.6183.50: {}

the port 8000 is not shared. between the host and the container. and I cannot override this config. 

PyCharm just adds its own configuration file with needed settings, it doesn't overwrite your config(s).

Does it work with our example from the documentation https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/using-docker-compose-as-a-remote-interpreter.html? There is a link to a project on GitHub.

I had the same problem, using the default Django Server run configuration with the Docker Compose interpreter selected.

It turns out that you must specify 0.0.0.0 in the "Host" field of the server run configuration. (This field is blank by default.) Once that is specified, and the server restarted if necessary, you will be able to access the server running in the Docker container at 127.0.0.0:8000 (assuming you're using the default 8000 port).

If you are using Django, it's important to add:

runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

in Parameters field of Run/Debug configuration dialog.

At the Time of Writing I am Using

PyCharm 2020.1.1 (Professional Edition)
Build #PY-201.7223.92, built on April 30, 2020

Runtime version: 11.0.6+8-b765.40 amd64

VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o

Linux 5.3.0-46-generic
GC: ParNew, ConcurrentMarkSweep
Non-Bundled Plugins: com.chrisrm.idea.MaterialThemeUI, com.mallowigi
Current Desktop: ubuntu:GNOME

I had struggled with an issue to set this up on a project that wasn't owned by me. The example they give is if you have the internal docker port matching the external.

In order to have this work with a different internal port, for example

FROM python:3.6.7

WORKDIR /app

# By copying over requirements first, we make sure that Docker will cache
# our installed requirements rather than reinstall them on every build
COPY requirements.txt /app/requirements.txt
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# Now copy in our code, and run it
COPY . /app
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["python", "manage.py", "runserver", "0.0.0.0:5000"]

Notice the 5000

version: '3'
services:
    web:
        build: .
        ports:
            - "8000:5000"
        volumes:
            - .:/app
        links:
            - db

    db:
        image: "postgres:9.6"
        ports:
            - "8432:5432"
        environment:
            POSTGRES_PASSWORD: hunter2

Notice

ports:
- "8000:5000"

I had the same issue and I solved it by setting the host in the run config from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0. Maybe this helps some others stumbling over this post.
