Can't connect to the ClamAV container through ASP.NET.

7y13.6k.NET

I have gone through this below mentioned link for creating a connection but it is for Linux and we want to do it in Windows.

http://jasonhaley.com/post/Virus-Scan-File-Uploads-Using-Multi-Container-Web-App

I got the "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:3310"

error after executing this line

var clam = new ClamClient("localhost");

var result = await clam.SendAndScanFileAsync(path);

Following is the composition of docker-compose.yml file:

clamav-server:

image: grofit/clamav-windows

ports:

- "3310:3310"

filestorageutility:

image: filestorageutility

links:

- clamav-server

ports:

- "4719"

build:

context: .\FileStorageUtility

dockerfile: Dockerfile

Hey @Mario_Scheeren Thank you

I tried this and find out IP Address of container through this command

docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.Networks.nat.IPAddress }}" container-id

and trying to connect with it's IP, I am getting this error.

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 172.22.144.36:3310

@Mario Thank you for your reply.
Please suggest me and help me out.

Wondering about the "localhost" - if within a docker scenario you cannot connect using localhost - inside the docks you have usually an IP range 172.17.0.0./16 or something like that. Try using the IP assigned to the DockerVM and be sure the VM is allowed to communicate to the "outside world".
