How to get the IP address of the docker host from inside a docker container

Question

As the title says. I need to be able to retrieve the IP address the docker hosts and the portmaps from the host to the container, and doing that inside of the container.

Answer 1

Maybe the container I've created is useful as well https://github.com/qoomon/docker-host

You can simply use container name dns to access host system e.g. curl http://dockerhost:9200, so no need to hassle with any IP address.
