如何访问本地网络中的Docker容器？

Question

I have pulled an MYSQL image from Docker Hub and ran it by setting necessary credentials, such as username, password etc. Then I have inspected the container by:

docker inspect CONTAINER_ID

where I got the IP address for the MySQL databese. Since the Docker deamon connect through bridge network, my IP addess was: 172.17.0.2. By specifying this IP I can connnect to the Database from the host computer(Fedora). But, how do I connectd to the MySQL database from another machine in the same LAN?

Answer 1

You need to bind the container port to a host machine port. Adding -p to the docker run command:

docker run -p HOST_PORT:CONTAINER_PORT

Ie:

docker run -p 3306:3306 .......

So MySQL is available from the Fedora's LAN interface.
