After I installed and started the docker service, I was able to launch the nginx container and access the welcome page.
docker run --rm -p 80:80 nginx:latest
But after I killed the container, and re-launch it with the same command, the container can start, but I cannot access the welcome page at http://localhost:80. I also found the browser did not say the connection was refused, instead, it just waits forever.
If I restart the docker service, I was able to create a new nginx container and access the welcome page. But, if I kill the container, the same issue re-occurs.
It feels like the port mapping function only work once.
Hi,
I’ve got the same Problem and no idea how to fix it. Only the first docker run really exposes the ports as I want it but after stoping/removing the container the second time running the SAME run command sill works an all looks fine but there is no connection to the docker. running lsof -i -P even shows that docker is using the ports but its still not working.
If I apt purge docker.io and reinstall it, it again works once but then stops working again.
I’ve created a big question with way more details at Server Fault: Unable to forwart ports on any docker - Server Fault
Docker itself, neither provides a gentoo package, nor does it provide the docker.io package. Package maintainers typicaly modify their packages to align with the os or package managers philosophy. Thus, I would recommend to raise an issue to the maintainer of the docker re-distribution, or post the issue in the forum of the os/package maintainer.
On OS`es based on Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, it is usualy less headache / more reliable to use the packages from docker’s official repositories.
