I have been looking around for well over 2 hours now trying to find SOMETHING that would give me any kind of direction with this issue but simply cannot find it.

I am using Node.js and CouchDB with docker-compose. I am also using express and nano. I have stripped my server.js file down to nearly nothing and still keep getting this

Error:

/usr/src/app/node_modules/nano/lib/nano.js:137
        reject(new Error('error happened in your connection'))
                ^
 
Error: error happened in your connection
    at responseHandler (/usr/src/app/node_modules/nano/lib/nano.js:137:16)
    at /usr/src/app/node_modules/nano/lib/nano.js:427:13
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)
 
Node.js v17.0.1

I have tried about 10 different ways of laying out the url but just cannot get any kind of indication as to why it just will not work. I have tried using curl -X PUT admin:admin@127.0.0.1:5984/posts/"001" -d '{"name":"Conner"} ' and it gets inserted without and issue.

server.js

'use strict';

const express = require('express');
var nano = require('nano')('http://admin:admin@127.0.0.1:5984');
var posts = nano.use('posts');

const app = express();
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");

const cors =require('cors');
app.use(cors());

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ 
    extended: true 
}));
 
const PORT = 8080;
const HOST = '0.0.0.0';


async function asyncCall() {
  const response = await posts.insert({_id: "001"}, 'rabbit')
  return response
}
asyncCall();

app.use('/', express.static('public'));
console.log('up and running');


app.listen(PORT,HOST);
