Can't access URL of nginx running in container

Expected behavior

Running nginx inside the container. I want to be able to access the server from my Mac through Safari or Chrome.

Actual behavior

Accessing the server through Chrome/Safari ends in an error message, that the “site can’t be reached”.

Information

I tried this example docker run -d -p 80:80 --name webserver nginx from Docker: Accelerated Container Application Development
