Satellite does not respect database URL?

I have the docker services storj_postgres and storj_satellite in my compose file. For the satellite, the STORJ_DATABASE env is set to ‘postgres://postgres:passwordhere@storj_postgres/satellite?sslmode=disable’. Usually that connects to the storj_postgres service container, but for some reason the satellite seems to connect to localhost:

Why does this happen? Is this a bug?

Environment variables usually handled in the entrypoint script. Do you have one in your image?

3

I am using storjlabs/satellite version 0.33.2 with pretty much the same setup as in the docker compose file on the GitHub repo. I can try editing the configuration file instead.

Afaik this versions has not yet been released or deployed. The current release is 0.31.12

5

The config.yaml file contains the correct postgres address, so it seems that the environment variables are applied correctly. I’ll try the current version.

EDIT: 0.31.12 has the same issue.

It does seem like a bug. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?
