Course: data-engineering-zoomcamp
Section: module-1 (This is a Docker-related connectivity fix affecting the ingest script, so it belongs in Module 1 (Docker and Terraform).)
Related Issue: #103

Question

OperationalError: connection to server at 'localhost' failed in ingest_script.py when running with --pg-host; how to fix by using pgdatabase?

Decision Rationale

The proposal describes a Docker/Postgres connectivity fix not explicitly covered by existing FAQs, namely changing the database host in ingest_script.py from 'localhost' to 'pgdatabase' when the container is run with --pg-host=pgdatabase.

Placement Details

• Section ID: module-1
• Sort Order: 76
• Filename Slug: change-pg-host-localhost-docker

⚠️ Warnings

• Ensure the hostname used by the script matches the docker run / docker-compose network alias.
• If you use a different container name for your Postgres service, adjust the value accordingly.
