Docker Container Can not access Docker host network

Question

In the docker compose file i added api server as a service and mongodb is installed in my local pc. But when the api run in docker container it could not connect with 127.0.0.1:27017.

Here is the docker-compose file.

networks:
  test_network:
    name: test_network
    driver: bridge
services:
  api:
    container_name: api
    build: ./api
    ports:
      - "3031:3031"
    networks:
      - test_network

Why this problem is happening and how i can resolve this problem ?

To connect outside a docker container instead of localhost or 127.0.0.1 try this host.docker.internal — Andrew Mititi

It happens because the IP address 127.0.0.1:27107 refers to the container itself.

You have to address the above port, but the host ip as I explained here.
