NewConnectionError(
urllib3.exceptions.NewConnectionError: <urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fb2fc2ea8b0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused

This is the code to test. This is running on a community version. I used pip to install

from arango import ArangoClient
client = ArangoClient(hosts='http://127.0.0.1:8529')
db = client.db(username="root", password="")
print(db.name)
result = db.create_database("test")
print(result)

Hi @mtgnoah,

Looks like your code (which I'm assuming is running on Windows 10) is not able to reach the container. Are you sure the container has port 8529 published and is accessible from Windows 10? One thing you can do to check if the ArangoDB instance is reachable is to simply visit http://127.0.0.1:8529 on your browser.

@joowani I totally forgot I was running in wsl2. Look at this for help wsl Once I ran it on regular windows it worked great
