CVAT : Localhost refused to connect.

[AhmadM-DL]

I am trying to get CVAT to work on windows 7.
I have docker version 19.03.1, build 74b1e89e8a.

After running :
docker-compose build

Then:
docker-compose up -d

Output:

Creating cvat_db ... done
Creating cvat_redis ... done
Creating cvat ... done
Creating cvat_ui ... done

However the server is not actually up as I can't really connect to it on localhost:8080.

docker logs cvat output: cvat_log.txt

Hi, try this fix: #1146

[AhmadM-DL]

Thanks @bsekachev for your time.

It seems it have worked.

But now I have the same problem with different logging output.
The problem this time is in cvat_db:

cvat_db_log.txt

Mainly it is saying:

Error: Database is uninitialized and superuser password is not specified.
       You must specify POSTGRES_PASSWORD for the superuser. Use
       "-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password" to set it in "docker run".

       You may also use POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust to allow all connections
       without a password. This is *not* recommended. See PostgreSQL
       documentation about "trust":
       https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-trust.html

@AhmadM-DL

Oh, yes. Another recent fix: #1153

I did that but strangely enough connection to localhost is still being refused.

And I can't find any obvious problem in the logs:
cvat_db_log.txt
cvat_log.txt
cvat_redis_log.txt

And also docker ps shows that every thing is up and ready:
docker_ps.txt

Any thought?

It turns out the problem might have arisen from using Docker Toolbox.
(Docker Windows requires Windows 10 )

To resolve the problem I followed the following answer on stackoverflow.
It states the following:

I initially had a few issues with accessing my Applications at localhost:8080 while using DockerToolBox and OracleVM VirtualBox.

In VirtualBox:

Click the appropriate machine (probably the one labeled "default")
Settings
Network > Adapter 1 > Advanced > Port Forwarding
Click "+" to add a new Rule
Set Host Port 8080 & Guest Port 8080; be sure to leave Host IP and Guest IP empty

Though I had to do the same for port 7080 too.

Also I had to run chrome as an administrator and to use incognito mode.
