Fix mongo url in compose files - #59
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The MONGO url in compose-server.yml and compose-demo.yml spelled the collection parameter as "collecion". go-pkgz/mongo strips only the parameters it is asked for, "db" and "collection", so the misspelled one stayed in the query string and the driver rejected the url with "error parsing uri: must have a / before the query ?". The server exited before reaching the syslog listener, so both compose files failed to start as shipped.

The MONGO url in compose-demo.yml addressed host "mongo" while the service and its hostname are "mongo-dkll", so the name did not resolve on the compose network.

Two independent reasons the shipped compose files cannot start the server, and both are unambiguous.
The collection parameter is misspelled.
compose-server.yml:18andcompose-demo.yml:18spell itcollecion.app/cmd/server.go:111callsmongo.Connect(..., mongoURL, "db", "collection"), which extracts and strips exactly the parameters it is given; the misspelled one stays in the query string, and the driver is handedmongodb://mongo:27017?collecion=logs:README.md:70already documents the parameter ascollection. The typo came in with 9759606, which movedMONGOfrom a bare host to a full url.The demo points at a host that does not exist.
compose-demo.yml:18addressedmongo, while the service and its hostname aremongo-dkll(lines 60-62), so the name never resolved on the compose network.One blocker is left after this PR: the mongo service enables root authentication while the server connects anonymously, which I have written up with a reproduction and options in #63, since which way to fix it is your call.
