How to access a docker container running on MacOSX from another host?

Question

I\'m trying to get started with docker and want to run the Ubiquiti video controller. I have installed Docker Toolbox and managed to get the container to run on my Yosemite host

Answer 1

This question main use case would be to access the applications running in the container from host(Mac) machine or other machines in the host(Mac) network

Once the container application has been started and exposed as below

docker run -d -p 8080 <>

Then find the mapping between the host(Mac) port with container port as below

docker port <>
sample output : 8080/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:32771

now access the container application as host(Mac IP):32771 from any machine in your host(Mac) network
