dotnet core docker web api not connecting

Question

I am struggling to get my docker container listening on localhost (keep getting site can't be reached). I have followed the official guides on jetbrains and some others I found around the net, but still having no luck.

On my local development I want my web API container and Postgres container to talk to each other, but when live the containers will be communicating with en RDS instance

DockerFile

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1 AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 8080
ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:8080

# Copy csproj and restore as distinct layers
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1 AS build
WORKDIR /src
COPY . .
RUN dotnet restore "api/api.csproj"
WORKDIR "/src/api"
RUN dotnet build "api.csproj" -c Release -o /app

FROM build AS publish
WORKDIR "/src/api"
RUN dotnet publish "api.csproj" -c Release -o /app

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "api.dll", "--urls", "http://*:8080"]

LaunchSettings

Answer 1

Pls share your docker run command. I am sure you specified -p option.

I am guessing it looks like below:

docker run <cotainer id> -p 57000:8080

8080 will be used from within docker container network.

From host machine you'll have access to the API using with 57000 .
