How do I troubleshoot issues with Django and Docker Compose?

To troubleshoot issues with Django and Docker Compose, start by checking your Docker logs using docker-compose logs. What specific issue are you facing?

I'm getting a 'Database connection error' when I try to run my app.

This could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that your database service is running. You can check this with docker-compose ps. What does the output show?

It shows that the database service is up, but I still can't connect.

In that case, check your Django settings to ensure the database configuration matches the service name in your docker-compose.yml. Have you verified the database credentials?

Yes, they seem correct. What else can I check?

You might want to check if the database is accepting connections from your Django container. You can try connecting to the database from within the Django container using docker exec -it <django_container_name> bash and then using a database client.
