Questions like seem to be asked but I really don’t get it at all. I have a window 10 dev machine host with docker for windows installed. Besides others networks it has DockerNAT netwrok with IP 10.0.75.1 I run some containers with docker-compose: version: '2’ services: web: build: . container…

Containers that expose ports are available on localhost: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/#/step-4-explore-the-application-and-run-examples

Thanks, I know, but I wan’t to understand is it possible to get access to the container directly to its full ip source, and better to access it using currently from my dev machine (docker for windows beta) I can not connect to 172.x.x.x container addresses because on this machine I have only NAT in…

Using this https://github.com/aacebedo/dnsdock - we can quite easiely enable advance DNS discovery and access containers by custom DSN name from dev machine. SO, YES WE CAN! Oh this not actual. MAKE DOCKER GREAT AGAIN!

To specifically solve this problem I created a simple “etc/hosts” domain injection tool that resolves names of local Docker containers on the host. Just run: docker run -d \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock \ -v /etc/hosts:/tmp/hosts \ --name docker-hoster \ dvdarias/docker-…

Fit as a glove for me! Thanks @dvdarias :slight_smile:

Access container from dev machine (by ip/dns name)

Well for now I’ve been able at least to acess 172.x.x.x ips from dev machine by adding needed route:

route /P add 172.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 10.0.75.2

Now want to figure aout is it possible to connect to them using some DNS names (maybe http://docs.master.dockerproject.org/engine/userguide/networking/configure-dns/) to get immutable connectivity way.
