I am getting the following error when running docker compose but when I go to `bolt://localhost:7687` I do get the graph and all the labels and nodes. Dockerfile and Docker compose are attached.

[@steves](https://community.neo4j.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/14880) I don't know what the `/var/cartography` things are, but I think your problem is that you are trying to connect to another container using `localhost`. In general, you should connect using `localhost` outside the container. I think that to solve this, you need to add in the`docker-compose.yml` ' file the block ``` ``` networks: ``` \- apoc\_workshop ``` ``` for eachservice, at the end of the file `` networks: apoc\_workshop: ``` driver: bridge\` ``` and should change `--neo4j-uri=bolt://localhost:7687` to` --neo4j-uri=bolt://neo4j:7687`, basically you have to connect using the hostname of the other container, in your case `neo4j`. See here for other details: [https://linuxhint.com/docker\_compose\_bridge\_networking/](https://linuxhint.com/docker_compose_bridge_networking/) If the problem persists, can you provide the complete example, including the ``var/cartography` files?
