This command below: docker run --rm -it -p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000 -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app sanchezjjose/my-node-app Which I am running should apparently allow me to run my application against localhost on port 3000 locally, but instead in Kitematic I see: 'Access URL' : 192.168.99.100:3000 In the doc…

Hello, When you specify 127.0.0.1:3000:3000, you are binding to the docker host’s 127.0.0.1. Since your docker host is in a VM, that’s different from your 127.0.0.1 on your mac. If you did docker run --rm -it -p 3000:3000 -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app sanchezjjose/my-node-app instead, it would bind to 0.…

Thanks for your response Jeff. So because I am using OSX, and the docker host is actually on a VM, there is no way for me to access my application via localhost:3000, unless I am actually port forwarding 3000 from my Mac OSX => VirtualBox VM running docker?

That is correct-- you could use virtualbox’s port forwarding feature. You would probably have to bind to the NAT interface’s address instead of 127.0.0.1 though: docker run -p 10.0.2.15:3000:3000 (assuming 10.0.2.15 is the IP of your VM’s interface attached to the virtualbox NAT network). The port f…

Thanks to this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25327012/access-docker-from-external-machine-in-network I was able to use [homebrew installed] nginx to forward the ports from my containers within vbox (on os x) to my own ip address so that other machines on my network could reach my contain…

Cool workaround, thanks for sharing!

Hello, I’ve exactly the same question. I’m running docker on my Mac OS and executing my container with without specifying the IP of my host docker run -i -p 3000:3000 -e “GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL=http://0.0.0.0” -e "GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret grafana/grafana ad10bbb0d7ef grafana/gr…

Hi, In case someone is having the same issue, I was able to resolve by putting: -p 3000:3000 in the docker run command, and putting: -b 0.0.0.0 in my rails server command. Thanks.

I’ve found a solution. In my case am using docker-machine which in turns manages docker-machine running in Virtual Box. Simply select your Docker VM in Virtual Box, open settings > Networking > Advanced > Port forwarding. Create a new entry and enter the details as follows: Name: web Protocol: TC…
