Docker use ip from host - windows

Question

I have the problem, that I want to create multiple docker container (with docker-compose) and call each container with the ip address.
On a Linux host it works but not in Windows as host.
Example:
container 1 (php) ip: 192.168.100.10
container 2 (mysql) ip: 192.168.100.11
container 3 (nginx) ip: 192.168.100.12
so I want to add a hosts item with the ip of the nginx to use a hostname like project.local for develop on browser.
Have anyone a idea what I must do on windows to realize this?

Answer 1

Each container use a internal IP for the base system that you using with your containers, for example if you are using Linux all container will have an internal IP that can be seen between container, but not for the principal host, if you want to connect to the containers you will need to use the ports for example for MySQL 3306, if the containers aren't seen between it you will need to create links or networks using a docker compose or the bash to set up this configuration, here I adjunct an example:
