Problem forwarding port on Windows

Docker Desktop for Windows
1

Packed ASP Core web service with docker. This service works correctly without Docker.
Service uses port 5000. In Dockerfile I exposed port 5000.
Launched docker with:

docker run -itd -p 127.0.0.1:8081:5000 <name>

Connected to the docker:

  • port is opened

    tcp 0 0 localhost:5000 : LISTEN

  • lynx can navigate 127.0.0.1:5000

Now trying to navigate service from client side to the 127.0.0.1:8081, or even using the port from docker-machine ip.
Service can’t be reached.
netstat shows that there is no opened port 8081

You probably need to make sure the server process is listening for external requests vs. just localhost ones. Details here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/37617426/2942
