Why can’t I access my Docker Compose container from the host IP?

Asked By CuriousCoder92 On

I'm having trouble accessing a Docker container that's running within a bridge network. After some tinkering (which I can't quite remember), it seems to have become completely unreachable. I can access it via its internal Docker IP (172.25.0.5), but when I try to connect through 0.0.0.0, I get a "Connection timed out" error. I've definitely exposed the appropriate port in my Docker Compose file, and I've tried both recreating the network and restarting the compose setup, but nothing has worked so far. What could be wrong?

Have you tried accessing the container using 'localhost' instead? Sometimes that can help identify if it's a network issue or something else.

It sounds like you might need to provide more details about your setup. I know you mentioned that you've exposed the port, but how exactly did you do that? Also, what specific troubleshooting steps have you already taken, along with any relevant output or errors you encountered?

If you're able to ping the container from within another Docker container but not from your host machine, it might indicate a networking problem on the host side. Double-check your firewall settings or any network configurations that might be blocking the connection.
