How to make Docker container accessible to other network machines through IP?

Question

I need to create some docker containers that must be accessed by other computers at the same network.

Problem is that when I create the container, Docker gets IP ad

Answer 1

Docker containers can easily be accessed by other network node when a container:port is published through a host:port.

This is done using the -p docker-run option. Here is the sum-up of the man-page ($man docker-run gives more details and example that I won't copy/paste):

   -p, --publish=[]
      Publish a container's port, or range of ports, to the host.

See the doc online. This question/answer could be interesting to read too.

Basically:

docker run -it --rm -p 8085:8080 my_netcat nc -l -p 8080

Would allow LAN nodes to connect to the docker-host-ip:8085 and discuss with the netcat command.
