I have a remote ubuntu machine with docker installed and a container is running on that, i want to access it from my windows machine through a browser, i can connect to the ubuntu remote machine from my windows machine through putty, is there any way, i would be able to achieve this, any helps or leads in this case will be highly appreciated?
When you start the container, you'll need to publish the port that you want to connect to using the -p flag. Here's an example from the Docker documentation that publishes port 80 in the container to port 80 on the host (you can map to a different port if you'd like):
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 my_image service nginx start
See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#expose-incoming-ports

I use a docker container to interact with my kubernetes cluster. I run kubectl from inside the container. All works fine except when I want to port forward. I can use kubectl port forward to forward from the pod to my container. But then I won't be able to access the site from my laptop browser. I can only curl from inside the container.
Is there any way at all I can access the site from my browser. docker host networking mode isn't supported on Macs and I use a Mac. Any suggestions?
I have this scenario you may adapt for your need :
On my laptop, I run :
docker run -it --rm -p 2222:2222 ubuntu bash
From inside container, I run :
kubectl port-forward --address 0.0.0.0 pod/my-pod-7f66c99ddd-6c429 2222:22
Now this is the diagram for port-forwarding :
2222 2222 2222 22
laptop -------------------> docker-container------------------->k8s-pod
Now, in another terminal on my laptop, I can do
ssh -p 2222 user-on-pod#laptop-hostname
to arrive at pod
I am newbie on docker.
I want to migrate my nodejs app to docker, and existing database already installed on server (172.17.2.1). I set mariadb host 172.17.2.1 on my nodejs config.
After that, I created an images and run with :
docker run -p 3009:3009 -d my-node
actually its already running, but when I tested to open by browser, I got an error that my app cannot connect to 172.17.2.1 (connecting to database).
I try to create bridge IP (172.17.2.135) and make a same subnet, but still got a same error.
My images on docker inside doesn't know 172.17.2.1 on my LAN.
Please help me,
I use windows 10 environment
You have two options to allow your container to reach an external server:
Run your docker container on your host network:
docker run -p 3009:3009 --network host -d my-node
This way your container will be able to reach anything reachable from your machine
create a network bridge: in this case docker will route the traffic from the container to the external server. the bridge IP can't be your docker machine IP as you tried to do.
I'm running a webpack-dev-server application inside a Docker container (node:4.2.1). If I try to connect to the server port from within the container - it works fine. However, trying to connect it from the host computer results in reset connection (the port is published, of course). How can I fix it?
This issue is not a docker problem.
Add --host=0.0.0.0 to your webpack command.
You need to connect to your page like this:
http://host:port/webpack-dev-server/index.html
Look to the iframe mode
You need to make sure:
you docker container has mapped the EXPOSE'd port to a host port
docker run -p x:y
your VM (if you are using docker machine with a VM) has forwarded that mapped port to the actual host (the host of the VM).

So, I'm trying to get Jenkins working inside of docker as an exercise to get experience using docker. I have a small linux server, running Ubuntu 14.04 in my house (computer I wasn't using for anything else), and have no issues getting the container to start up, and connect to Jenkins over my local network.
My issue comes in when I try to connect to it from outside of my local network. I have port 8080 forwarded to the serve with the container, and if I run a port checker it says the port is open. However, when I actually try and go to my-ip:8080, I will either get nothing if I started the container just with -p 8080:8080 or "Error: Invalid request or server failed. HTTP_Proxy" if I run it with -p 0.0.0.0:8080:8080.
I wanted to make sure it wasn't jenkins, so I tried getting just a simple hello world flask application to work, and had the exact same issue. Any recommendations? Do I need to add anything extra inside Ubuntu to get it to allow outside connections to go to my containers?
EDIT: I'm also just using the official Jenkins image from docker hub.
If you are running this:
docker run -p 8080:8080 jenkins
Then to connect to jenkins you will have to connect to (in essence you are doing port forwarding):
http://127.0.0.1:8080 or http://localhost:8080
If you are just running this:
docker run jenkins
You can connect to jenkins using the container's IP
http://<containers-ip>:8080
The Dockerfile when the Jenkins container is built already exposes port 8080
The Docker Site has a great amount of information on container networks.
https://docs.docker.com/articles/networking
"By default Docker containers can make connections to the outside world, but the outside world cannot connect to containers."
You will need to provide special options when invoking docker run in order for containers to accept incoming connections.
Use the -P or --publish-all=true|false for containers to accept incoming connections.
The below should allow you to access it from another network:
docker run -P -p 8080:8080 jenkins
if you can connect to Jenkins over local network from a machine different than the one docker is running on but not from outside your local network, then the problem is not docker. In this case the problem is what ever machine who is receiving outside connection (normally your router, modem or ...) does not know to which machine the outside request should be forwarded.
You have to make sure you are forwarding the proper port on your external IP to proper port on the machine which is running Docker. This can be normally done on your internet modem/router.
I am running docker on OSX via boot2docker. I am using docker remotely, via the API.
I create several images of a web server. Docker assigns different IP address to each container, like 172.17.0.61. Each web server is running on port 8080.
Inside VM, I can ping the server on this address.
How can I map these different container IP addresses (from VM) to the same one in VM, but on different port? E.G.
<local.ip>:9001 -> 172.17.0.61:8080
<local.ip>:9002 -> 172.17.0.62:8080
where local.ip may be either ip from boot2docker or anything else.
Possible solution is to define port bindings when creating container and bind each container to a different port. However, I would like to avoid that, since this config becomes part of the container, and only exist because running on OSX. If I do all this above on linux, we would not have this issue.
How to map inner containers to different ports?
Publishing ports is the right solution. You have the same problem whether you're running remotely or locally, just the IP address changes.
For example, say I start the following web servers:
$ docker run -d -p 8000:80 nginx
$ docker run -d -p 8001:80 nginx
From inside the VM (run boot2docker ssh), I can then run curl localhost:8000 or curl localhost:8001 to reach the website. This is the normal way of working with Docker on Linux. From the Mac command line, it becomes curl $(boot2docker ip):8000 because of the VM, but we've not done anything different with regards to starting the web servers because of boot2docker.
