I would like any computer on the same network as my Mac to be able to access the dockerized Rails web app running on my Mac.
On my Mac (10.9.5) my Rails 4.2.4 web app is running fine in Docker when I access it via the docker ip and the port I assigned, 192.168.99.100:3000
Docker 1.8.1 is running under Virtualbox 5.0.2.
I'm using Docker-compose and the relevant part of the docker-compose.yml file is:
web:
build: .
command: 'bash -c ''bundle exec unicorn -p $PORT -c ./config/unicorn-local.rb'''
working_dir: /app/user
env_file:
- .docker_dev_env_config
- .docker_dev_env_personal
environment:
PORT: 3000
DATABASE_URL: 'postgres://postgres:#herokuPostgresql:5432/postgres'
ports:
- '3000:3000'
links:
- herokuPostgresql
and my Dockerfile is
FROM heroku-ruby2.0.0 # a local image based on heroku/ruby with ruby 2.0.0
EXPOSE 3000
ENV widget foo
My Mac's ip address on the local network is always set to 192.168.0.33.
How do I permit testers on the local network to access the running dockerized app via 192.168.0.33:3000 ?
(FWIW if I run my web app under Vagrant - instead of Docker - other testers on the network can access the web app by browsing 192.168.0.33:3000. My Vagrant is also running under Virtualbox. My Vagrantfile contains config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 3000, host: 3000 but I do not see any equivalent for docker-compose.yml)
You need to port forward the port 3000 from the VM to your localhost. For this you can run the following script
VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "tcp-port$3000,tcp,,$3000,,$3000";
VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "udp-port$3000,udp,,$3000,,$3000";
This will port forward to your localhost. In case you want to port forward to some other interface, you have to provide that interface's IP address in the command. This is the general syntax for the --natpf command
[--natpf<1-N> [<rulename>],tcp|udp,[<hostip>],<hostport>,[<guestip>],<guestport>]
So you can modify it accordingly.
Refer to this for further reading. Docker on Mac. The Missing Guide
The 'default' Virtualbox created when using docker-toolkit's Docker Quickstart Terminal app does not have any port other than an ssh defined.
The solution on the Mac, when using VirtualBox with Docker is:
Run VirtualBox
click the 'default' box (or whichever box your Docker setup uses)
go to 'Settings > Network > Adapter 1
click 'Port Forwarding'
create a new rule the example below fwds 3000 to 3000
(be sure to leave the host ip column blank)

So I'm using Docker Toolbox because I don't have Hyper-V on my machine since it's not Windows 10 pro. Everything seems to work fine, but when I try to go on my browser 0.0.0.0:80 it always returns me: This site can’t be reached
But when I run the command: docker container ps I get the following: 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp meaning that this address should work. I searched across stackoverflow and github issues. Now I'm stuck.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Mark
EDIT:
Using docker-machine ip default returns me 192.168.99.100. I run that on port 80. I still get the same result except that the address becomes the container id: https://fd677edg12
I run that command on cmd to find my ipv4: cmd /k ipconfig /all. Put the result with the port and it returns the same thing: https://fd677edg12
Docker Toolbox doesn't get as many conveniences as Docker for Windows, but you're correct in using it since you're on Home edition.
In Toolbox, nothing will be localhost, and will be 192.168.99.100 by default, since it's running a Linux VM in VirtualBox.
So if you run docker run -p 80:80 nginx
(notice I had to publish a port for 192.168.99.100 to listen on that port)
Then going to http://192.168.99.100 should work.
I initially had a few issues with accessing my Applications at localhost:8080 while using DockerToolBox and OracleVM VirtualBox.
In VirtualBox:
Click the appropriate machine (probably the one labeled "default")
Settings
Network > Adapter 1 > Advanced > Port Forwarding
Click "+" to add a new Rule
Set Host Port 8080 & Guest Port 8080; be sure to leave Host IP and Guest IP empty
Run the command:
docker run -p 8080:8080 ${image_id}
I was following docker for windows tutorial in https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/#set-up-tab-completion-in-powershell and got stuck in step #6 when test nginx in the web browser. Seems I faced a similar problem since I also use Windows Home and don't have Hyper-V. My workaround is quite simple:
check your docker IP default
$ docker-machine ip default
192.168.99.100
Go to Oracle Virtual Machine to set for port forwarding. Make sure the network setting is NAT, and add port forwarding.
Host IP: 127.0.0.1, Guest IP: 192.168.99.100, port all set to 80
like this
Try again to your browser and run http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 (can add the port 80 also). It should run.
The thing is that the nginx IP is meant to be accessible within the docker Virtual Machine, so that we need that port forwading setting in order to access it directly in the host machine's browser
You can use localhost instead of '192.168.99.100' by following the instructions:
Step #01:
docker-machine ip default
You will see the default IP
Step #02:
docker-machine stop default
Step #03:
Open VirtualBox Manager (from the start programs in windows search for VirtualBox Manager)
Select your Docker Machine VirtualBox image (e.g.: default)
Open Settings -> Network -> Advanced -> Port Forwarding
Add your app name, the desired host port and your guest port
i.e, app name : nginx, host: 127.0.0.1, host port: 80, guest port: 80
Step #04:
Now you’re ready to start your Docker Machine by executing the following:
docker-machine start default
Then just start your Docker container and you will be able to access it via localhost.
Have a look here for details.
To map the ports expected to localhost instead of hitting the docker-machine IP directly, you can use the VirtualBox CLI.
If the docker-machine VM (here called default) is running, add and delete rules like this:
> VBoxManage.exe controlvm "default" natpf1 "nginx,tcp,,8888,,8888"
> VBoxManage.exe controlvm "default" natpf1 delete nginx
If the VM is not running, or you want to stop before altering it:
> docker-machine stop
> VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "default" --natpf1 "nginx,tcp,,8888,,8888"
> VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "default" --natpf1 delete "nginx"
> docker-machine start
Where the format of the port forwarding rule is [<name>],tcp|udp,[<hostip>],<hostport>,[<guestip>], <guestport>.
Note that in VirtualBox, you want to map to the host port of Docker map, not the internal container port. You're mapping host -> VM, then Docker maps VM -> container.
See the VirtualBox docs.
This is another easy way to avoid typing the ip 192.168.99.100.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and add at the end of the file:
192.168.99.100 docker.awesome or any name of your liking.
Save the file (You need to have admin rights so make sure you right click on the file and run as administrator to be able to save it when you edit it).
Go to your chosen domain name, docker.awesome:8080 in this case and there you have it.
After lot of trials, I was able to get this bulletin board.
The docker run command I used - docker run -p 4680:8080 --name bb bulletinboard:1.0
Here, 4680 is localhost port number.
8080 is container port number, the port at which the container will be listening. This port number is mentioned in the EXPOSE command in the Dockerfile.
Then, go to web-browser and type 192.168.99.100:4680
Here, 192.168.99.100 is the docker machine IP address (use command -> docker-machine ip)
After this, your browser page should open to -
Hope this helps you all!!
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).
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
Here is what I have tried:
My goal: running the prosody XMPP server inside a container, accessed by my (as-yet uncontainerized) local development environment.
I installed the prosody XMPP server - this is what I am trying to use as a container for local development.
It comes dockerized here:
https://github.com/lloydwatkin/prosody-docker
I ran, as per documentation:
docker run -d prosody/prosody --name prosody -p 5222:5222
I checked prosody was running with docker exec -t -i /bin/bash
docker ps shows that the container is running, forward to 5222.
But, on my Mac local shell, telnetting to my boot2docker ip on port 5222 cannot connect.
I have tried this https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/blob/master/doc/WORKAROUNDS.md
but I cannot get that to work.
To add to my confusion, the latest docker.com documentation states port forwarding should work, under Container Port Redirection:
https://docs.docker.com/installation/mac/
There was an error in the docker container documentation for prosody. The correct order of params are:
docker run -d --name prosody -p 5222:5222 prosody/prosody
There's no error handling so it was really difficult to identity.
Try running this command in Terminal to forward communication from your local machine's ports 5200 through 5299 to the VirtualBox's ports:
for i in {5200..5299}; do VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "tcp-port$i,tcp,,$i,,$i”; VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "udp-port$i,udp,,$i,,$i";done
Docker (www.docker.io) looks terrific. However, after installing VirtualBox, Vagrant
... and finally Docker on a Mac, I'm finding it's not possible to access the service running in the Docker container from another computer (or from a terminal session on the Mac). The service I'm trying to access is Redis.
The problem appears to be that there's no route to the IP address assigned to the Docker container. In this case the container's IP is 172.16.42.2 while the Mac's IP is 196.168.0.3.
A couple notes:
It IS possible to access it - but only from within the VirtualBox session. This can be done using redis-cli -h 172.16.42.2 -p 6379.
I have added "config.vm.network :bridged" to the VagrantFile in an attempt to get the, but that didn't solve the problem.
The VM generated by vagrant is indeed isolated, in order to access it from your host, you can allocate a private network to it.
Instead of doing config.vm.network :bridged, try config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.50.4", It should do the trick
However, this will only allow you to access the VM itself, not the containers.
In order to do so, when running the container, you can add the -p option
ex: docker run -d -p 8989 base nc -lkp 8989
This will run a netcat listening on 8989 within a container and expose the port publicly. As it is also run with -d, the container will be in detached mode and the only output will be the container's ID
In order to expose the port, Docker do a simple NAT. In order to know the real port, you can
do docker port <ID of the container> 8989
Netcat will be available from the mac at 192.168.50.4:<result>
I just wrote a tutorial of how to use a host-only network and TCP routing to make this pretty easy. This way you don't have to map every specific port.
http://ispyker.blogspot.com/2014/04/accessing-docker-container-private.html
Important points ...
1) Add host-only network to Virtual Box
2) Tell the boot2docker VM to have an adapter on the host-only network
3) Add an IP for the new boot2docker VM host-only networking adapter
4) Route all Mac OS X traffic for the docker container subnet to that boot2docker VM host-only networking IP
Actual steps are on the blog with output so you can compare to what you see as you follow them.
I have installed tomcat from my Dockerfile and forwarded that to 6060 using vagrant`s port forwarding. These are the steps worked for me:
vagrant provision
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
box_name$ docker run -i -t -p 8080:8080 bsb_tomcat6 /bin/bash
Able to see tomcat up & running on localhost:6060, as I have done port forwarding to 6060 in my Vagrantfile
you also can define PRIVATE_NETWORK and FORWARD_DOCKER_PORTS environment variables to access your services that are running in docker containers:
$ vagrant halt
$ export PRIVATE_NETWORK=192.168.50.4
$ export FORWARD_DOCKER_PORTS=1
$ vagrant up
In my case i can access postgres from Mac using
$ telnet 192.168.50.4 49154
to find out actual application port you can use
$ sudo docker port 1854499c6547 5432
0.0.0.0:49154
