Flask_oidc gives `Errno 99 Cannot assign requested address` when run in Docker container


flask-oidc gets token endpoint configuration from the client secrets file.

I managed to make it work by making the following changes:

  1. Created a docker network for the flask app and keycloak containers;
  2. Edited the attributes userinfo_uri, token_uri and token_introspection_uri, replacing the hostname with the keycloak container hostname (i'm using docker-compose, in this case the keycloak container hostname is the service name).

Example:

{  "web": {    "auth_uri": "http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/REMOVED/protocol/openid-connect/auth",    "client_id": "flask-client",    "client_secret": "REMOVED",    "redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:5000/oidc_callback"],    "userinfo_uri": "http://keycloak:8080/auth/realms/REMOVED/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo",    "token_uri": "http://keycloak:8080/auth/realms/REMOVED/protocol/openid-connect/token",    "token_introspection_uri": "http://keycloak:8080/auth/realms/REMOVED/protocol/openid-connect/token/introspect"  }}

Now it connects through the docker network to exchange token info.
