Cant connect to database with Docker

[Jonathan O'Donnell232]

Locally, I can connect to the DB with npm start

I can docker build test . and docker run test and see it lifted and running.

Then I push it to Jenkins. Jenkins pull from my github and I have most things committed in github.

When Jenkins builds the image, it does not run locally. Do I need to commit more stuff to github? Here is my current .gitignore for nodebb

Thanks!

I run this docker image in google cloud platform from jenkins. If I grab teh jenkins built image and run it locally, it works as well. It must be that I am blocked to get an external DB connection from within google cloud. Im not sure about that though since the mongodb is hosted in mongolab and the ip is public
