boot2docker access elasticsearch on localhost

Question

I'm running boot2docker on a Mac for my development. I built a Docker image containing a Jetty server which is connecting to elasticsearch at localhost together with Redis and MySQL.

I'm running docker-compose with a host bridge configuration which looks like the following:

 api:
  image: api
  ports:
    - "8080:8080"
  environment:
   JETTY_ENVIRONMENT: dev
  net: "host" 

What I want is accessing elasticsearch which I installed on my Mac via localhost:9200 .

Answer 1

Try this? I know we're not supposed to answer with links, but I thought it'd be OK since it's a link to a boot2docker file on Github.
