I was following this instruction for creating and running a Windows docker container. But I cannot get it to work, I tried from two different machines with the same result.
Instructions are here.
I started from the basic template project for ASP.NET (framework) MVC app - no HTTPS, using Visual Studio 2019. I published it according to the instructions in the post. and create a docker container exactly as described.
I’m able to create the container and run it, however when I navigate to localhost
I am not able to reach the site.
It shows that its running on port 80
Does anyone have any recommendations how to get this working? Perhaps the instructions are missing a step?
I’m using latest version of Docker for Windows, Windows 10 x64 Pro latest version , I think 1909
EDIT: With the container running I ran docker inspect
on the container id and in the NetworkSettings I got the “IPAddress”: “172.17.50.25”,. I then entered that into the browser and was able to access the app.
Can someone explain how this is working? And why accessing it via localhost doesn’t?
