Getting Connection Refused to local MLLP Server

[stewart-anderson]

I am running the docker image it starts with the default command line in getting started, but when I add arguments to connect to a MLLP server (localhost) it fails with a connection refused errro.

I have tried sending messages to a 7edit Receive anda mirth connect listener channel.

It gets the same from both. I can send and receive between Mirth and 7edit no problems, so im sure its not a connection issue.

This is the command line: docker run --rm -it -p 8000:8000 eu.gcr.io/simhospital-images/simhospital:latest health/simulator -output mllp -mllp_destination localhost:6661 -mllp_keep_alive true

and this is the error:

FATA[2023-05-18T11:08:15Z] Cannot create Hospital Runner error="cannot create default hospital config: cannot create the sender: cannot establish mllp connection on sender &{client: conn: address:localhost:6661 mllpKeepAlive:true mllpKeepAlivePeriod:60000000000 count:0}: cannot connect to tcp address localhost:6661: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:6661: connect: connection refused" prefix=cmd/simulator source="main.main(cmd/simulator/simulator.go:134)"
