boot2docker access elasticsearch on localhost - elasticsearch

I'm running boot2docker on a Mac for my development. I built a Docker image containing a Jetty server which is connecting to elasticsearch at localhost together with Redis and MySQL.
I'm running docker-compose with a host bridge configuration which looks like the following:
api:
image: api
ports:
- "8080:8080"
environment:
JETTY_ENVIRONMENT: dev
net: "host"
What I want is accessing elasticsearch which I installed on my Mac via localhost:9200.

Try this? I know we're not supposed to answer with links, but I thought it'd be OK since it's a link to a boot2docker file on Github.

How to access a website running on docker after closing the debug on Visual Studio

I build a very simple web app and web api on .net core and configured the docker-compose to get them to communicate over the same network correctly.
On visual studio, when I hit play on the Docker Compose project, it runs fine, both the web app and the web api work and communicate correctly.
On the Docker Desktop app i see them running (green).
But when I close/stop the debugger on VS I can't access the websites anymore even though the containers are still running. I thought docker worked as a sort of IIS.
Am I misunderstanding the docker capabilities or do I need to run them again from a CLI or publish them somewhere or what?
I thought the fact the containers are up and running should mean they're live for me to navigate to.
Help me out over here please.
You are correct, unless there is some special routing happening, the fact that the containers are running means your services are available.
You can see the ports being exposed from the docker ps -a command:
CONTAINER_ID: 560f78689902
IMAGE: moviedecisionweb:dev
COMMAND: "C:\\remote_debugger\\…"
CREATED: About a minute ago
STATUS: Up About a minute
PORTS: 0.0.0.0:52002->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:52001->443/tcp
NAMES: mdweb
CONTAINER_ID: 1cd7f72426fe
IMAGE: moviedecisionapi:dev
COMMAND: "C:\\remote_debugger\\…"
CREATED: About a minute ago
STATUS: Up About a minute
PORTS: 0.0.0.0:52005->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:52004->443/tcp
NAMES: mdapi
Based on the provided output, you have two docker containers running.
I'm assuming the ports 80 & 443 are serving the HTTP & HTTPS services (respectively) from your app/s.
Based on this...
For container "mdweb", you should be able to access the docker services from your docker host machine (PC) via:
http://0.0.0.0:52002
https://0.0.0.0:52001
For container "mdapi", you should be able to access the docker services from your docker host machine (PC) via:
http://0.0.0.0:52005
https://0.0.0.0:52004
I believe you can use localhost, 127.0.0.1 & 0.0.0.0 interchangeably in the above.
You cannot use the hostnames "mdweb" or "mdapi" from your docker HOST machine - unless you have explicitly setup your DNS to handle these names. However you can use these hostnames if you are inside a docker container on the same docker network.
If you provide more information (e.g. your docker-compose.yml), we could help you further...

Setting redis configuration with docker in windows

I want to set up redis configuration in docker.
I have my own redis.conf under D:/redis/redis.conf and have configured it to have bind 127.0.0.1 and have uncommented requirepass foobared
Then used this command to load this configuration in docker:
docker run --volume D:/redis/redis.conf:/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf --name myredis redis redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf
Next,
I have docker-compose.yml in my application in maven Project under src/resources.
I have the following in my docker-compase.yml
redis:
image: redis
ports:
- "6379:6379"
And i execute the command :
docker-compose up
The Server runs, but when i check with the command:
docker ps -a
it Shows that redis Image runs at 0.0.0.0:6379.
I want it to run at 127.0.0.1.
How do i get that?
isn't my configuration file loading or is it wrong? or my commands are wrong?
Any suggestions are of great help.
PS: I am using Windows.
Thanks
Try to execute:
docker inspect <container_id>
And use "NetworkSettings"->"Gateway" (it must be 172.17.0.1) value instead of 127.0.0.1.
You can't use 127.0.0.1 as your Redis was run in the isolated environment.
Or you can link your containers.
So first of all you should not be worried about redis saying listening on 0.0.0.0:6379. Because redis is running inside the container. And if it doesn't listen on 0.0.0.0 then you won't be able to make any connections.
Next if you want redis to only listen on localhost on localhost then you need to use below
redis:
image: redis
ports:
- "127.0.0.1:6379:6379"
PS: I have not run container or docker for windows with 127.0.0.1 port mapping, so you will have to see if it works. Because host networking in Windows, Mac and Linux are different and may not work this way

Can't expose web server using docker on OSX

I have a docker image that runs a webserver and I would like to access it from my local OSX, but I'm having issues.
I start the container with: docker run -p 8000:8000 <container-name>
and I can see log messages telling me that the local server is listening on localhost:8000
I am able to get a successful response from running:
docker exec <IMAGE-ID> curl "http://localhost:8000/"
Addresses I've tried on my local OSX are:
http://localhost:8000/
http://<DOCKER-IP-172.17.0.2:8000/
Neither of those work. Any suggestions?
Container is built from golang:1.8
Docker Version: Version 17.03.1-ce-mac5 (16048)
MacOS Sierra: 10.12.4
Firewall is turned off for testing purposes
I've tried the same process on Ubuntu 16.04 and no luck their either.
The newer versions of docker use vpnkit on OSX to manage the port forwarding to the containers... you should allow vpnkit through your firewall if you want to expose the container ports.
Also, in your Go code, make sure to bind to 0.0.0.0 rather than 127.0.0.1 for your webserver code.

How to run Redis on Docker using docker-compose.yml?

Have found an official Spring tutorial about the application developing that uses Redis keystore is described but don't know almost nothing about Docker and don't really want to learn it. The app's source code contains docker-compose.yml file with multiple Redis oriented settings and Spring docs are say:
There is a docker-compose.yml file in the source code in Github which
you can run really easily on the command line with docker-compose up.
But it seems to be not that easy and Docker docs are too complicated.
Have installed Docker and deployed Redis there:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
81cbeeb08153 redis "docker-entrypoint.sh" 22 hours ago Up 21 minutes 6379/tcp Server
The docker-compose.yml
redis:
image: redis
ports:
- "6379:6379"
What's next? How to import this in Docker Redis?
I'm trying to up Redis on the Windows machine to let my simple localhost app finally work.
Do you have Docker Compose installed? If yes, just run docker-compose up - it will start redis image and make it listen on a correct port.
Alternatively, you will have to start redis manually and correctly expose specified port.

Can't pull docker image: no route to host

When using boot2docker on OSX, I can't pull a new image from Docker Hub:
$ docker run mysql
Unable to find image 'mysql' locally
Pulling repository mysql
2014/06/24 16:58:18 Get https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/mysql/images: dial tcp: read udp 192.168.0.1:53: no route to host
I can still access that URL using a browser or curl. What gives?
Restarting boot2docker fixed it for me. I think it had to do with switching wifi networks using different IP ranges.
$ boot2docker restart
