Expose container ports on localhost not working

Expected behavior

When I try to map a port from container to localhost, it’s suppose to work.

Actual behavior

Docker for Windows (1.12.0-rc3-beta18 b 5193) returns an error when I try to run a container with -p argument.

λ docker run -d -p 80:80 --name webserver nginx
Unable to find image 'nginx:latest' locally

I just tested with Beta 18 and was not able to reproduce the error.
Did you have the settings set to expose localhost in Beta 17?

Can you try disabling the localhost setting in Network settings? It might also be good to try a different port than 80 in case you already have a process bound there.

Tried to debug a little more and worked in a different port:

docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name webserver nginx

IIS Express service was using port 80. My bad

Thanks for reporting this - I’ve created an issue to track improving the error message.

FWIW, also had problems with “Expose container ports on localhost”

I’m using postgresql and I start having this error:
“error 08p01 invalid message format”

Disabling this experiment functionality “solved” the problem

Using Docker for Windows 1.12.0-rc4-beta19 build 5465

try command: docker-machine ls
and run using url ip address: http://{virtual-machine ip}:{exposed port}
