Containers network communication fails on Windows (Solution)

[pmancele]

Describe the bug

Hello,
Starting from scratch on my Windows 10 I installed Ollama, Docker Desktop and LLocalSearch. After starting with docker compose up I had error when using the web interface.

The errors were about the backend that cannot communicate with searxng and searxng that cannot communicate with redis.

Example of errors :

backend-1   | Aug 26 14:01:01.960 WRN llm_tools/simple_websearch.go:50 Error making the request error="Get \"http://searxng:8080/?q=jeu+vid%C3%A9o+recommand%C3%A9&format=json\": dial tcp: lookup searxng on 127.0.0.11:53: no such host"

searxng-1  |   File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/redis/connection.py", line 1074, in get_connection
searxng-1  |     connection.connect()
searxng-1  |   File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/redis/connection.py", line 283, in connect
searxng-1  |     raise ConnectionError(self._error_message(e))
searxng-1  | redis.exceptions.ConnectionError: Error -2 connecting to redis:6379. Name does not resolve.

To Reproduce

Basic install on Windows

Expected behavior

You should have a failed communication when the tool try to query the web to answer your question

Solution

Here is what I've done to solve the issue. I am not an expert with docker compose at all. Is it the best solution ?
