I am new to docker and nowhere near a networking expert, but I am seeing some strangeness when trying to run a docker container instance (right word?). I am running docker on OSX and set it up using the documentation found here: http://viget.com/extend/how-to-use-docker-on-os-x-the-missing-guide
Everything seems to have gone along fine, then I set up the port forwarding rules via these lines:
for i in {49000..49900};
do VBoxManage modifyvm "boot2docker-vm" --natpf1 "tcp-port$i,tcp,,$i,,$i";
done
I can confirm the boot2docker VM instance by checking the configuration within the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager->Network->Adapter 1->Port Forwarding with the OSX.
I then run this command to get the container.
docker run -d -P dockerhub.emory.edu/ecoi_trunk:2
I do a "docker ps" and get this info.
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
f20bfefa2e97 dockerhub.emory.edu/ecoi_trunk:2 "/usr/sbin/apachectl 18 seconds ago Up 15 seconds 0.0.0.0:49153->443/tcp, 0.0.0.0:49154->80/tcp cranky_einstein
However, when I run an "lsof -i :49153" I see nothing is listening. I also can't reach the container via the "l****host:49153" in my browser. It just hangs.
What's strange is if I explicitly set the port (rather than allowing docker to assign one) via the following command:
docker run -d -p 49000:80 dockerhub.emory.edu/ecoi_trunk:2
It seems to work (lsof -i:49000 displays a TCP LISTEN), and I can confirm it's listening and the container is reachable via "l****host:49000". However, it's extremely slow. I'm not sure if either are related, but would welcome any tips or thoughts.

I'm new using Docker. I have been trying to deploy a Linux container (with Windows as a host) with a Google Cloud image inside using Docker. I'm able to do everything well, at the end the server is running perfectly, but when I want to check the server, using the localhost in the browser, I got a blank page with:
Blank page
This is the Dockerfile:
FROM google/cloud-sdk
ENV PATH /usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/bin:$PATH
WORKDIR docker_folder
COPY local_folder/ .
RUN pwd
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["java_dev_appserver.sh", "."]
This is the command I'm using to build my image (in the CMD):
docker build --tag serverdeploy .
This is the command I'm using to run my container
docker run -p 8080:8080 serverdeploy
This is the stack trace that I got when I run the server
where I know that I running the server
I did some research and looks like Docker had a problem with the ports when you use a Linux container in Windows (Not sure if it's already solved or not). I've already tried all the possible solutions that I found out there (even trying to replace 'localhost' by all the ip's that I get when I run ipconfig on the cmd) but I still get the same error.
And, as last hope, I need your help to understand what I'm doing wrong, or if I missing something
You are running your service bind to localhost - that means no remote connections are accepted (as well as binding to 127.0.0.1. And for your container the host is a remote connection.
Change binding to 0.0.0.0 (which I guess is default) and enjoy.
Btw sharing your java_dev_appserver.sh would be helpful for answering the question.
I am new to Docker - installed DockerToolbox on Win10. And managed to run some basic docker examples. But I cannot seem to figure out how to access same container from multiple command line windows.
Quick online search suggested finding container ID (e.g. 2c7e29b9b666) via
docker ps
then running (I presume in new command window)
docker exec -it 2c7e29b9b666 bash
but that does not work in Win10.
Error message received is:
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Edit: in the first window I started docker machine via:
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox tombox
and I can see 'tombox' in second window if I do:
docker-machine ls
Do I need to somehow reference 'tombox' when running docker commands in second window?
I'm struggling with setting up a JMX connection to Tomcat running in a Docker container using Docker for Mac.
I think I understand the basics, and have a setenv.sh in the tomcat/bin directory looking like this:
CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=true\
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false\
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false\
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false\
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=185.83.15.228\
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999\
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=9999"
I think the problematic part might be the java.rmi.server.hostname property. I've set this to the IP of the host machine, but I've also tried other obvious things. I believe this should be the IP of the machine on which jconsole or jvisualvm will be running, but this is not working for me.
I start the container like this:
docker run -d -v /Users/timbo/tomcat-jmx.sh:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh -p 8080:8080 -p 9999:9999 tomcat:8.0
so port 9999 is exposed.
When I try to connect using jvisualvm connecting to localhost:9999 (which Docker for Mac will route to the container which is actually on 172.17.0.2) I get the error:
Cannot connect to localhost:9999 using service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9999/jmxrmi
Any hints on what is wrong?
OK, I think I managed to find it eventually. Setting the value of java.rmi.server.hostname to the hostname of the host (e.g. mymac.local, or whatever is returned by hostname) seem to get it working. All other settings were OK.
Docker for Mac works in a bit different way. The port you map actually gets mapped to the Linux VM it is running in the background. This VM usually has in IP 192.168.99.100. So you should try and connect to 192.168.99.100:9999
To verify what is the IP of your VM, open the Docker CLI terminal and execute below
echo $DOCKER_HOST
tcp://192.168.99.100:2376
I am running an example from Docker tutorial:
docker run -d -P nginx
This starts correctly as docker ps outputs the following:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
a5838f701c8f nginx "nginx -g 'daemon off" 3 minutes ago Up 2 minutes 0.0.0.0:32773->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:32772->443/tcp compassionate_stallman
When I run docker inspect a5838f701c8f, I can see the IP of the container is 172.17.0.2.
However, for some reason going to localhost:32772 or 127.0.0.1:32772 or 0.0.0.0:32772 gives me ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Going to 172.17.0.2:32772 just seems to endlessly load and load and never loads anything...
Could this be something with my host? I am using OSX 10.9.5 and docker 1.10.3, build 20f81dd.
You should test with URL 192.168.99.104:32772 If you are using Docker Machine.
Please take a look with https://docs.docker.com/machine/reference/ip/ to know how to get IP address with Docker Machine
I installed boot2docker as explained on the docker website. Here are some command runs to show that I have things installed correctly:
$$:~ kv$ boot2docker start
Waiting for VM and Docker daemon to start...
...................ooo

Your environment variables are already set correctly.

After this, I ran the following command:
docker run -t -i ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash
Inside the container, I installed zeromq, and started a zeromq server on port 5555 using tcp.
My questions are following:
If I exit out of the container, will it save all the work I do inside it?
I have no idea how to connect to the server running on port 5555. I read something about exposing a port, but I am not sure how to go about doing that. I did an ifconfig inside the container, and tried to connect to the server from the host like this:
$$:~ kv$ ./zmq_client tcp://container_ip:5555
This did not work. Can someone please lists the steps I need to take in order to connect to the server running within the container.
For completion sake, I am providing the list of my environment variables:

One last question I have is about code performance. So within my Mac OS X, I have a docker container running (which runs Ubuntu). If I run the application, like a zeromq based server inside the container, will it not be slower as compared to running it on Mac OS X directly. Please explain the benefits of using docker in such a scenario..
You should really do some more reading and research before turning to SO, then ask about anything you can't figure out. But:
No. If the container is "exited" you can restart it and your files will still be there, but once it is removed your files are gone. You can use docker commit to save them to an image, but the best bet is to use a Dockerfile.
docker run -p 5000:8000 image will expose port 8000 in the container as port 5000 on the host.
Yes, it will be slower due to the boot2docker VM. It would not be slower if you were running on a Linux host. The advantage is that zeromq is now running in an isolated container with all its dependencies.
