app ignores config, queries localhost

Just tried to run the app with docker: docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.nodejs.yml exec app yarn mage2vs import

However, localhost is not what I have given in my config before I started the app. There’s http://172.24.0.8:9200 in there and I can confirm there’s correct ES on that IP with docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.nodejs.yml exec app curl http://172.24.0.8:9200.

I would expect the app to query what was given in config, but that’s not the case. Why?

@lukeromanowicz steps to reproduce fresh git clone of this repo

1. clone vue-storefront-api repo
2. spin up external host (DO droplet is fine)
3. copy default.json to local.json
4. provide your magento2 keys in config/local.json and change the elasticsearch node to

  "elasticsearch": {
    "host": "IP.OF.DO.DROPLET",

1. make sure to edit docker-compose to remove references to es1 (also in depends_on nodes in both docker files) so internal ES never launches (makes the connection error easier to spot)
2. to spin up docker without elasticsearch run

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.nodejs.yml up -d

1. then run dataimport with

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.nodejs.yml exec app yarn mage2vs import

see how you get:

It tried to query named host elasticsearch completely ignoring the host config node.

@janmyszkier that was exactly it. Sorry I forgot to update the thread saying I’d figured it out, but thanks for following up!
