Custom Postgres Port in Docker Compose

Hi,

I am using Kong / Konga and VMWare Harbor docker images on the same docker host. Both want to use Postgres on port 5432 in their own database services.

I am trying to change the postgres database port from 5432 to 5433 so it does not collide with harbor. I am running kong via docker compose. Everything is good when all ports are set to 5432. However, when I update the docker-compose.yml file to reference 5433, it starts the database fine, but kong cannot connect to it.

kong_migration says:
Error: [postgres error] could not retrieve current migrations: [postgres error] connection refused

kong_1 says:

kong_1 | nginx: [error] init_by_lua error: /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/kong/init.lua:197: [postgres error] could not retrieve server_version: connection refused
kong_1 | stack traceback:
kong_1 | [C]: in function ‘error’
kong_1 | /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/kong/init.lua:197: in function ‘init’
kong_1 | init_by_lua:3: in main chunk

konga-prepare says:
konga-prepare_1 | debug: Preparing database…
konga-prepare_1 | Using postgres DB Adapter.

There are a bunch of other errors - you get the point.

I can open a connection the database running on port 5433 from the host command line using psql.

I am running on Centos 7 docker host and have iptables running.

My docker-compose.yml looks like:

I added an iptables entry for port 5433:

iptables -A DOCKER -p tcp --dport 5433 -j ACCEPT

I am stumped at this point. Any thoughts on what the problem is?
