（mac）dockers，如何从容器连接到主机上的Redis服务器

Question

i am running a docker container on my mac machine using boot2docker :

I want to connect to redis-server i am running my hosting machine from inside the container.

1. I have managed to connect from the container to a service i am running on the host machine using curl http://192.168.3.124:5000 (getting results)
2. I have managed to connect to it , but I am not pulling data from it according to it's state. redisServer = redis.StrictRedis(host='192.168.3.124', port= "6379"); redisServer.get("2") (gets no results, from the hosting machine that key is set)

Answer 1

Your host IP in the virtualbox that boot2docker setups is (typically) 10.0.2.2.
