I create Dockerfile, after that i need to push docker container on aws EKS, so when i run

docker run my-container-name

my localhost didn’t run, but when i run like this:

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 my-container-name

all works, and localhost running, so how fix problem, i need to run my container without “-p 8000:8000”
My point to run dockercontainer just with

docker run my-container-name

You can run the container normally, -p 8000:8000 maps the host port 8000 to the container port 8000 so that you can access it using localhost:8000, or from other machine using your computer’s IP/hostname

Without mapping the ports, you’ll only be able to access it internally, using other containers in a shared network

If you want a simpler command, you can use Docker compose (doc) with a compose file, which holds the settings.
