Usually, you don’t. You use the docker run -p option to assign a port on the host system for your service, and external callers use the host system’s DNS name and the port you assigned with -p. The container’s private internal IP address is completely irrelevant for almost every application.

The host only has one port 80. You could run a reverse proxy in front of both of them and publish the reverse proxy as port 80; or you could pick different ports

docker run -p 8000:80 httpd
docker run -p 8001:80 httpd

Then port 8000 on the host would reach port 80 of the first container, and port 8001 would reach port 80 of the second container.
