Can't visit `http://172.17.0.2:5000` after starting docker registry

Question

On a mac system, I start the register following the deploy document:

docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry:2

Answer 1

If you are using docker-machine, see "Port forwarding in docker-machine?"

• either port forward the 5000 port on the VirtualBox level (meaning localhost:5000 will work)

  VBoxManage controlvm "boot2docker-vm" natpf1 "tcp-port5000,tcp,,5000,,5000";
  

• or use the ip returned by $(docker-machine ip <yourMachine>)
