One problem with the lo0 hack is it’s not persistent-- you have to re-add the alias every time you reboot.
Also, the steps solution you provided @dteoh bind to all addresses, making the server public, which is one condition I’m trying to avoid, hence the reason for binding to the bridge address (or localhost, or alias, or whatever). If there’s another way to accomplish this, that’s what I’m looking for and open to.
When binding to a specific address, this (non-public, host reachable from containers) works on Linux and on Docker for Mac beta with lo0 hack address. On Linux, this is the only possible way (?) to accomplish this.
