Issue: Any URL put in creating a PDF, MPDF can't find it (throws an Exception).
Exception: cURL error: \"Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8000: Connection refused\"
I have both web and API in this app, and strangely, my web app HTML can find those images. I have created a pretty basic environment following the tutorials.
I'm using http://127.0.0.1:8000/ as base URL to access for my app and API.
- Images is located at
ROOT_DIR/public/uploads/report_templates/logo/logo-white.png - Web can see this via
http://127.0.0.1:8000/uploads/report_templates/logo/logo-white.png.
Things I found
- Any external URL like
https://www.google.pl/images/srpr/logo11w.pngcan be found. - If I place absolute path instead of URL it is found (can't resort to this tough since this a lengthy report.)
- using
curlfrom inside the container forhttp://127.0.0.1:8000/uploads/report_templates/logo/logo-white.pngsaysFailed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8000: Connection refused
I understand, I'm doing it wrong in the 3rd point requesting into my own container. But can't find anything specific in web & too new to docker to think of something my own.
I'm looking for a proper way to handle this in docker.

For context
I'm using MPDF to create a PDF that has images URLs (pointing to my application's public folders). It works fine on my regular LAMP environment.
But, to learn I decided to create & run this app in docker container on my local machine (running ubuntu). Everything is working as it should in this docker environment, except for this one thing.
