Docker port forwarding not working

Question

I have setup Docker container for access my machine docker container to another machine in local.

Create a container below command:

    docker run -i         


        

Answer 1

Port 7000 on the host is redirecting to port 8000 in the container, but is anything listening on that port in the container?

Your docker run command is a bit odd: -it is for running a container interactively with a terminal attached; -d is for running detached, in the background; bash at the end overrides whatever the image configures as the startup command, which is why I think there's nothing listening on port 8000.

Try running the simplest NGINX container with this:

docker run -d -p 8081:80 nginx:alpine

And then verify you can get to the homepage:

curl http://localhost:8081

If that's working then I'd look at how you're running your image.
