Discussion on: Create API Rest with Laravel 7.X Passport Authentication And Implement Refresh Token (Part 1)

I was looking in documentation for the problem and found that having php and the web server (nginx) in different docker containers don't communicate by curl because php makes a call to localhost and not to the nginx container, for that reason it can't solve the url.

The solution is to put in the docker-compose.yml file in the container with php

extra_hosts:
- "url-container:172.18.0.3"

url-container: is the url our project.
172.18.0.3: The ip of the web server container (nginx in my case).

Change nginx-service to the name of the container where you have the web server.

I had to reboot everything to make it work, even my machine

My docker-compose.yml

version: '3.5'

networks:
servicesnet:
name: networkservices
driver: bridge

services:
nginx:
image: nginx:latest
container_name: nginx-service
