Mongodb connections time out from openwhisk action - openwhisk

Question

I am running openwhisk via jar on my development box. I can connect to mongo from node and from the command line. However, it times out when I try to connect from an openwhisk action.
curl -u $tok "http://172.17.0.1:3233/api/v1/namespaces/_/actions/openwhiskmongo?blocking=true&result=true" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"jonboy"}' {"error":{"message":"Operation users.findOne()buffering timed out after 10000ms","name":"MongooseError","stack":"MongooseError: Operationusers.findOne() buffering timed out after 10000ms\n at Timeout.<anonymous> (/nodejsAction/hTFYlZze/node_modules/mongoose/lib/drivers/node-mongodb-native/collection.js:153:23)\n at listOnTimeout (internal/timers.js:557:17)\n at processTimers (internal/timers.js:500:7)"}}
Mongo connects fine from the command line.
mongo mongodb://172.17.0.1
MongoDB shell version v4.4.17

The server generated these startup warnings when booting:

Here's my action code.
openmongowhisk.js
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
async function main(args) {
require('./config/database');
require('./models/user');
const User = mongoose.model('User');
const name = args && args.username;
var result = 'not initialized';
var user = await User.findOne({username: name}).exec();
if (user) {
result = 'found';
} else {
result = 'not found';
}
return { user: user, result: result };
}
exports.main = main;
database.js
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const devConnection = "mongodb://172.17.0.1";
mongoose.connect(devConnection, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true
});
mongoose.connection.on('connected', () => {
console.log('Database connected');
});
user.js
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
id: String,
username: String,
});
mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);
Edit:add docker network info

Any ideas?

I disabled the proxy settings on my computer, and now it is working. Can't believe I didn't think of trying that earlier.
