Docker nginx container: http code 400 - macos

I’m a new in docker and I’m trying to run nginx from https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx/
I pulled the image
docker pull nginx
I’m running container
docker run --rm --name=some-nginx -p 8080:80 nginx
but getting http 400 all time when I open localhost:8080 in browser in local machine. Log from docker output:
172.17.0.1 - - [14/Dec/2017:23:07:11 +0000] "\x16\x03\x01\x00\xB5\x01\x00\x00\xB1\x03\x03\x81e|u\x93\xFC`Qo\xC8\xE6y\x18{%\x83\x8C\xC2a\xC93V\xB5;\xC0V\xDC\x10{\xC9)X\x00\x00\x1E\xC0+\xC0/\xCC\xA9\xCC\xA8\xC0,\xC00\xC0" 400 173 "-" "-" "-"
What’s wrong? I checked nginx inside the containter (curl localhost) and it works.
Thank you.

I got it now. It's a bit complicated, but I will try to simplify:
You are binding the 8080 host port to 80 container port. So, if you do a curl localhost at the host, it means you are not calling Nginx service inside the container, but the port 80 process in your *nix system. Likewise, if you send the same command inside the container, it will work, because it has exposed the default http port (80) inside the container, but not outside. You may confirm this assumption by calling curl localhost:8080. If this return as the container command, it is right.
Is it possible to understand?

Access a host from within a Docker container on Windows

I use Docker CE for Windows on latest Windows 10 and have built an image with a
script that runs a test against a web server.
(A litmus test suite for a WebDAV server to be exact, but I think the problem
is general.)
I run the web server on a Powershell console:
> wsgidav -p 8080 -H localhost
21:04:19.107 - <13348)> wsgidav INFO : Running WsgiDAV/3.0.0a3 Cheroot/6.4.0 Python/3.6.5
21:04:19.107 - <13348)> wsgidav INFO : Serving on http://localhost:8080 ...
From another Powershell console, I run my script in a Docker container (using FROM alpine).
The script starts and tries to access the endpoint, but does not succeed:
> docker pull mar10/litmus
> docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 mar10/litmus http://gateway.docker.internal:8080
-> running `basic':
0. init.................. FAIL (connection refused by `gateway.docker.internal' port 8080: Operation timed out)
I tried so far
Using the gateway.docker.internal hostname
using -p PORT:PORT
using --net=host
restarting the docker daemon (which interestingly sometimes also was neccessary to
fix timeouts in docker pull)
different IP addresses for the web server (127.0.0.1, localhost, 0.0.0.0, local IP)
Nothing worked so far (although the failure message may be different).
Maybe I just missed a working combination of the above, or any other trick?
FWIW, I was able to solve it by building the container with the --network host option and use a real IP of the client (instead of localhost or 0.0.0.0).

Can't access docker container on port 80 on OSX

In my current job we have development environment made with docker-compose.
One container is nginx, which provide routing to other containers.
Everything seems fine and work to my colleague on windows and osx. But on my system (osx El Capitan), there is problem with accessing nginx container on port 80.
There is setup of container from docker-compose.yml
nginx:
build: ./dockerbuild/nginx
ports:
- 80:80
links:
- php
volumes_from:
- app
... and more
In ./dockerbuild/nginx there is nothing special, just nginx config as we know it from everywhere.
When I run everyting with docker-compose create and docker-compose start. Then docker ps give me
3b296c1e4775 docker_nginx "nginx -g 'daemon off" About an hour ago Up 47 minutes 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 443/tcp docker_nginx_1
But when I try to access it for example via curl I get error. curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 80: Connection refused
I try to run container with port 81 and everything works fine.
Port is really binded to docker
22:47 $ sudo lsof -i -n -P | grep TCP
...
com.docke 14718 schovi 38u IPv4 0x6e9c93c51ec4b617 0t0 TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
...
Firewall in osx is turned off and I have no other security.
if you are using docker-for-mac:
Accessing by localhost:80 is correct, though you still have to ensure you do not have a local apache/nginx service running. Often leftovers from boxen/homebrew exist binding that port, because thats what developers did back then :)
if you are using dockertoolbox/virtualbox/whatever hypervisor
You will not be able to access it by localhost, by by the docker-machine ip, so write docker-machine ip default and the use http://$ip:80 in your browser
if that does not help
Ensure your nginx container actually does work, so connect to the container: docker exec -i -t <containerid> bash
and then run ps aux nginx or if telnet is installed try to connect to localhost
Solved!
Problem was, that long long time ago I installed pow (super simple automated rails server which run application on app_name.local domain). And this beast left LaunchAgent script which update pf to forward port 80 to pow port.
In my current job we have development environment made with docker-compose.
A privilege to use.
[W]hen I try to access [nginx on port 80] for example via curl I get error.
Given there's nothing from causing you from accessing docker on your host os you should look at the app running inside the container to ensure it's binding to the correct host, e.g. 0.0.0.0 and not localhost.
For example, if you're running Nuxt inside a container with nuxt-ts observe Nuxt will default to localhost thereby causing the container not to connect to the docker network whereas npx nuxt-ts -H 0.0.0.0 gets things squared away with the container's internal server connecting to the ip of the docker network used (verify ip like docker container inspect d8af01990363).

How to access webserver running on localhost from a docker container on a network?

I have the following system configuration:
Docker container running on user defined network
docker-machine (with VirtualBox on OS:X forwarding port 9000 to 9000)
Local webserver running on http://localhost:9000
I do not know how to make a basic http request against this webserver, from within my docker container.
To test this I am using:
docker exec testcontainer curl --data "foobaz=foo" http://{hostname}:9000/
where I have tried, for hostnames:
'localhost'
'127.0.0.1'
'192.168.99.100' (docker-machine IP)
Each time I receive errors or timeouts. When I run the curl command locally (not in docker and on my host OS:X machine) I am able to successfully post the http request.
I cannot disconnect the docker container from my user-defined network. I also cannot add my webserver to that network, as it is not running in a container. Also, I know it is trivial to connect the other way (curl to a webserver running in a docker container) but this is not my use case.
How can I successfully route that http request from the docker container which is part of a user defined network to my localhost webserver?
You can do this with the actual IP address of your local computer.
So for example, if your en0 IP is 10.100.20.32 on your host OS, you can run:
docker exec testcontainer curl --data "foobaz=foo" http://10.100.20.32:9000/
which will successfully allow you to make the http requests.
Note that if you are doing this from a container on the host docker network, this is trivial, as you can directly access localhost or 0.0.0.0 without having to use the actual machine IP.
You might want to check what the IP address of the container is - you can find this out by running docker inspect.
However, if you want to access the server process running in your container using the docker machine IP, then you should "expose" port 9000 that your contained app is listening on (using Dockerfile) - in this way, you will still need to figure out which port the 9000 container port is mapped to (this shows when you list your containers via $ docker ps. You can also specify port binding option in command line when starting your container like this: $ docker run -p 9000:9000 <your-container>.

Access Docker forwarded port on Mac

What do I do wrong?
Omg, desired service started on 127.0.0.1 in container, that is why it wasn't visible from outside world. I've modified service config to start on 0.0.0.0 and now I can access forwarded container port
I had the same problem and was able to fix it by specifying the host that the server within the container uses.
NOTE: when using host below, it means a web server host. When I use host-machine, I mean the main operating system I'm using, (i.e. not a container or a web server, just my laptop as a machine)
The Problem
Running web servers on the container like webpack-dev-server and http-server automatically run the app using a host of http://localhost. Typically you will see that in the output when you start the server. Something like :
Project is running at http://localhost:8080
or
Server available at http://127.0.0.1:8080
On most machines, localhost and 127.0.0.1 are the same thing. This host is not publicly viewable. As a result, your host machine can't see anything, even though it's looking in the right place.
Solution
You should specify a public host when you run the server inside your container.
webpack-dev-server --port 8080 --host 0.0.0.0
or
http-server -p 8080 -a 0.0.0.0
Because the 0.0.0.0 address is viewable to any outside machine, you should be able to see your app working as expected from your host machine.
NOTE: This works for any server, like Python's SimpleHTTPServer, etc. Just look up how to change the host for your chosen server in the documentation

How to access web page served by nginx web server running in docker container

We are trying to use docker to run nginx but for some reason I'm unable to access the nginx web server running inside the docker container.
We have booted a Docker Container using the following Dockerfile: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-docker/blob/53cca71042482ca70e03033c66d969b475c61ac2/Dockerfile
(Its a basic hello world using nginx running on port 8888)
To run the container we used:
docker run -it ubuntu bash
we determined the Container's IP address using the docker inspect command:
docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' a9404c168b21
which is: 172.17.0.11
when I try to visit the container's IP address and the nginx port in a browser http://172.17.0.11:8888/ we get ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
or using curl:
curl 172.17.0.11:8888
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 172.17.0.11 port 8888: Connection refused
To attempt to solve this we googled extensively but suspect we might be asking the "wrong" questions...
You shouldn't be trying to hit the IP address of the container, you should be using the IP address of the host machine.
What you are missing is the mapping of the port of the host machine to the port of the container running the nginx server.
Assuming that you want to use port 8888 on the host machine, you need a parameter such as this to map the ports:
docker run ... -p 8888:8888 ...
Then you should be able to access you server at http://<HOST_MACHINE_IP>:8888
EDIT: There is another gotcha if you are running on a Mac. To use Docker on a Mac it's common to use boot2docker but boot2docker adds in another layer. You need determine the IP address of the boot2docker container and use that instead of localhost to access nginx.
$ boot2docker ip
The VM's Host only interface IP address is: <X.X.X.X>
$ wget http://<X.X.X.X>:8888
...
Connecting to <X.X.X.X>:8888... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Reference: https://viget.com/extend/how-to-use-docker-on-os-x-the-missing-guide
EDIT: ... or with docker-machine the equivalent command would be docker-machine ip <machine-name> where <machine-name> is likely to be "default".
You may need to check if your container is running:
docker ps ( you should have an active container)
If no container is active:
docker run -p 80:80 -it /bin/bash
you will then be on your image terminal
start nginx - sudo service nginx start
ctrl p + ctrl q to quit docker without exiting the container
if you are on mac and using boot2docker you cannot use localhost to check your running nginx
so use boot2docker ip
browse using the boot2docker ip
