django.db.utils.OperationalError: could not connect to server: Connection refused

I found a Django project and failed to get it running in Docker container in the following way:

1. git clone https://github.com/hotdogee/django-blast.git

2. $ cat requirements.txt in this files the below dependencies had to be updated:

   • kombu==3.0.30
   • psycopg2==2.8.6

I have the following Dockerfile:

FROM python:2
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
WORKDIR /code
COPY requirements.txt /code/
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . /code/

For docker-compose.yml I use:

version: "3"

services:
  db:
    image: postgres
    volumes:
      - ./data/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_DB=postgres
      - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
  web:
    build: .
    command: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
    volumes:
      - .:/code
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    depends_on:
      - db

Next, I ran into this error:

$ docker-compose build
