连接本地 docker-compose 容器 Windows 10

Question

Very similar to this question, I cannot connect to my local docker-compose container from my browser (Firefox) on Windows 10 and have been troubleshooting for some time, but I cannot seem to find the issue.

Here is my docker-compose.yml:

version: "3"
services:
    frontend:
        container_name: frontend
        build: ./frontend
        ports:
          - "3000:3000"
        working_dir: /home/node/app/
        environment:
            DEVELOPMENT: "yes"
        stdin_open: true
        volumes:
          - ./frontend:/home/node/app/
        command: bash -c "npm start & npm run build"
    my_app_django:
        container_name: my_app_django
        build: ./backend/
        environment:
        SECRET_KEY: "... not included ..."
        command: ["./rundjango.sh"]
        volumes:
            - ./backend:/code
            - media_volume:/code/media
            - static_volume:/code/static
        expose:
            - "443"
    my_app_nginx:
        container_name: my_app_nginx
        image: nginx:1.17.2-alpine
        volumes:
          - ./nginx/nginx.dev.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
          - static_volume:/home/app/web/staticfiles
          - media_volume:/home/app/web/mediafiles
          - ./frontend:/home/app/frontend/
        ports:
            - "80:80"
        depends_on:
          - my_app_django
volumes:
    static_volume: 
    media_volume:

I can start the containers with docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d and there are no errors when I check the logs with docker logs my_app_django or docker logs my_app_nginx . Additionally, doing docker ps shows all the containers running as they should.

The odd part about this issue is that on Linux, everything runs without issue and I can find my app on localhost at port 80. The only thing I do differently when I am on Windows is that I run a dos2unix on my.sh files to ensure that they run properly. If I omit this step, then I get many errors which leads me to believe that I have to do this.

If anyone could give guidance/advice as to what may I be doing incorrectly or missing altogether, I would be truly grateful. I am also happy to provide more details, just let me know. Thank you!

EDIT #1: As timur suggested, I did a docker run -p 80:80 -d nginx and here was the output:

This might be the cause of the error but I don't really understand what needs to be done at this point.

EDIT #2: As requested, here are my Dockerfiles (one for backend, one for frontend)

Backend Dockerfile:

FROM python:3
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y  imagemagick libxmlsec1-dev pkg-config
RUN mkdir /code
WORKDIR /code
COPY requirements.txt /code/
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . /code

Frontend Dockerfile:

FROM node
WORKDIR /home/node/app/
COPY . /home/node/app/
RUN npm install -g react-scripts
RUN npm install

EDIT #3: When I do docker ps , this is what I get:

Answer 1

As we established you use Docker Toolbox that is backed by VirtualBox rather than default Hyper-V Docker for Windows. In this case you might think of it as a VBox VM that actually runs Docker - so all volume mounts and port mappings apply to docker machine VM , not your host. And management tools (ie Docker terminal and docker-compose ) actually run on your host OS through MinGW .

---

Due to this, you don't get binding ports on localhost by default (but you can achieve this by editing VM properties in VirtualBox manually if you so desire - I just googled the second link for some picture tutorials). Suprisingly, the official documentation on this particular topic is pretty scarce - you can get a hint by looking at their examples though.

So in your case, the correct url should be http://192.168.99.100

---

Another thing that is different between these two solutions is volume mounts. And again, documentation sorta hints at what it should be but I can't point you a more explicit source. As you have probably noticed the terminal you use for all your docker interactions encodes paths a bit differently (I presume because of that MinGW layer ) and converted paths get sent off to docker-machine - because it's Linux and would not handle windows-style paths anyway.

From here I see a couple of avenues for you to explore:

Run your project from C:\Users\...\MyProject

As the documentation states , you get c:\Users mounted into /c/Users by default. So theoretically, if you run your docker-compose from your user home folder - paths should automagically align - but since you are having this issue - you are probably running it from somewhere else.

Create another share

You also can create your own mounting mount in Virtual Box . Run pwd in your terminal and note where project root is. Then use Virtual Vox UI and create a path that would make it align with your directory tree (for example, D:\MyProject\ should become /d/MyProject .

Hopefully this will not require you to change your docker-compose.yml either

Alternatively, switch to Hyper-V Docker Desktop - and these particular issues will go away.

Bear in mind, that Hyper-V will not coexist with VirtualBox. So this option might not be available to you if you need VBox for something else.
