I am getting a connection error while creating traefik with consul backend "dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8500: getsockopt: connection refused"

[himanshuverma123]

I have consul container running on 127.0.0.1:8500.
Output of curl -v "http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/kv/traefik?recurse=&wait=30000ms:

*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 8500 (#0)

And by running Traefik using docker compose I get:

Starting traefik_traefik_1
Attaching to traefik_traefik_1
traefik_1  | 2016/11/29 14:11:33 Error loading configuration: Get http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/kv/traefik?recurse=&wait=30000ms: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8500: getsockopt: connection refused
traefik_traefik_1 exited with code 255.

Any Help or Hint?

Okay solved it.

Used the following config for traefik compose file:-

traefik:
  image: traefik
  command: --consul  --consul.endpoint=127.0.0.1:8500
  ports:
    - "80:80"
    - "8080:8080"
  net: "host"

I got the same error with the docker-compose files from the examples folder.

traefik_1  | Error loading configuration: Get http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/kv/traefik?recurse=&wait=30000ms: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8500: getsockopt: connection refused

docker -v
Docker version 17.03.1-ce, build c6d412e

docker-compose -v
docker-compose version 1.13.0, build 1719ceb

Any idea?
