Accessing Docker network (portforwarding)

General
2

Can you explain what you mean by that? What else would you use than a Docker network? Port forward only makes sense when you are using a local Docker bridge network.

We usually need the following information to understand the issue:

  1. What platform are you using? Windows, Linux or macOS? Which version of the operating systems? In case of Linux, which distribution?

  2. How did you install Docker? Sharing the platform almost answers it, but only almost. Direct links to the followed guide can be useful.

  3. On debian based Linux, the following commands can give us some idea and recognize incorrectly installed Docker:

    docker info
docker version

    Review the output before sharing and remove confidential data if any appears (public IP for example)

    dpkg -l 'docker*' | grep '^ii'
snap list docker

    When you share the outputs, always format your posts according to the following guide: How to format your forum posts

Some additional questions:

  • How did you test the port? Why do you think it is not working?
  • Have you checked container logs?
  • Why do you assume it is a firewall issue? Can you access the port from the Docker host either using the host IP (if I understand it correctly, not) or container IP?
