You can find a right address to call your page this way First, find the CONTAINER ID by:

$ docker ps

You will get the information like this:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                          NAMES
56dd4d582b08        abc01               "python app.py"     10 minutes ago      Up 11 minutes       80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:80->4000/tcp   flamboyant_bell

Now you know the port: 4000 (scroll right this row). So that the address should be like this:

http://192.168.99.100:4000/

However, you can double check:

$ docker port 56dd4d582b08

You will get in this case the following info:

4000/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:80

Now you can try to look you project at

http://192.168.99.100:4000/
