Another alternative is to add the entry below to your Linux host's /etc/hosts:

172.17.0.1 host.docker.internal
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then you can simple define the environments as:

  DB_UPSTREAM: http://host.docker.internal:3000
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Is 172.17.0.1 host ip?

If it is means every time host's ip address changes for some reason maybe network switching to WIFI to LAN we need to update this and rerun our compose?
