I am trying to create docker containers via curl API calls. somehow I am unable to create container with port mappings.

Below is the API call I have used for container creation.

sudo curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d ‘{“Image”: “mohanstack/auto:1.0”,“HostConfig”:{“Binds”:[“jvol1:/var/lib/vol1”],“PortBindings”:{“8080/tcp”:[{“HostIp”: “0.0.0.0”,“HostPort”:“8754”}]}} }’ -X POST http:/v1.36/containers/create

curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock -X POST http:/v1.36/containers/f3694876c289/start

docker inspect f3694876c289

when I used docker run command, port mapping works fine. Did I miss anything in the container creation API call?

Thanks,

It worked fine after adding Exposed port .

curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d ‘{“Image”:“mohanstack/auto:1.0”,“HostConfig”:{“Binds”:[“jvol1:/var/lib/vol1”],“ExposedPorts”: {“8080/tcp”: {}},“PortBindings”:{“8080/tcp”:[{“HostIp”: “”,“HostPort”:“8754”}]}}}’ -X POST http:/v1.37/containers/create
