Expected behavior Be able to access an ipv4 or ipv6 address, or some DNS/hostname from inside a container which can access the host (not the xhyve/hyper-v vm). There’s a few issues posted on this forum that are similar, but all the solutions are hacks and most revolve around using hostnet networkin…

I found this topic while I was searching for another issue which I discovered (I will mention later) Host-networking works for me with host’s hostname and I’m switching daily in multiple networks (home, office, coffeeshops). The only case which I discovered was to set a dhcp-client-id because somet…

For the moment, assume I’m happy with a workaround to find the IP address of the host. However, even if I know what that is, I don’t seem to actually be able to make a connection other than to ping. From an Ubuntu machine with Docker installed: ubuntu:~$ echo "Hello World" | nc -l 4321 & [1] 19761…

Hey @garethadams , docker does not expose the gateway ports for some reasons (tbh I don’t know why)… my workarounds are the following: a) use the loopback as describe above (10.254.254.254) - see answer#7 b) use the hosts “real” ip address inside the network (in most cases some 192.168.. ip addres…

Connections from the host to a container show up in the container as coming from 172.17.0.1. But connections from the container to 172.17.0.1 go to the xhyve vm and not the host. Perhaps xhyve could remap or proxy every port except 2375 back to the host? That way, access to the magic 172.17.0.1 …

There have been a series of issues open going back 3 years asking for a dockerhost hostname inside the container. Here is the latest one, which seems to have recent activity and someone is taking it on: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/23177 Hopefully it will work on Docker for Mac.

I’m glad this thread exists. Our current setup is to have docker running the applications and postgresapp running on the host for easier data persistence, backup and restores. Not being able to easily access the database on the host is really keeping my team from adopting the beta.

It seems to me like Docker employees have gone quiet on this thread. Seems to me like where they left it is that they believe it’s functionally equivalent to how it works on Linux. I think us, as users, clearly disagree, since the goal here is to run all our dev tools natively on OS X/Windows and …

There’s an issue on GitHub to request to add a dockerhost host entry in the containers, no matter the platform. [image] Issue: Add dockerhost as an entry in /etc/hosts in all containers opened by alunarbeach on 2016-06-01 This is a follow up to the issue docker#1143 As you…

From the official documentation, https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/networking: Unfortunately, due to limtations in OSX, we’re unable to route traffic to containers, and from containers back to the host. Since reaching the host from a container is possible and built-in for Linux, and is poss…

+1 I think from me. I think this thread illustrates my exact problem but I will highlight a different use case. I work in a corporate environment that requires outbound internet access to go through an authenticating proxy. To avoid my credentials from being exposed everywhere in config files and …
