So my main question is, if there are plans to support this or if it is an impossible to overcome technical hurdle. I understand that the reason for this not working, is that this is due to the documented fact that there is no docker0 interface available on osx ( ).įor our workflow (allowing the host to access containers directly from the host, without port mapping) it is pretty crucial. curl - expected to get the apache page, but get a timeout.docker inspect httpd extract IPAddress from the output (e.g 172.17.0.2).driver.amd64-linux Steps to reproduce the behavior You can test running: docker run -rm :host-gateway ubuntu:18.04 cat /etc/hosts, then see if it works and show the ip in the hosts file (there should be a line like 172.17.0.1 host.docker. I can't access containers by network unless I map ports to 127.0.0.1. Only newer docker versions have the magical string host-gateway, that converts to the docker default bridge network ip (or host's virtual IP when using docker desktop).). I can access all containers by ip address from my OSX host directly.
