I have Grunt running a node connect (grunt-contrib-connect) web server on localhost:8080
in a docker container. I run the container with this command:
$ docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 js1972/yeoman:v3
.
Inside my container I run the grunt connect task with grunt develop
.
I'm on a Mac so using boot2docker. boot2docker ip
says the host ip is 192.168.59.103 so I should access the connect server with http://192.168.59.103:8080 in my browser.
However this doesn't work and I just get a safari can't connect to server message. (note that the port forwarding works just fine when I use a simple python web server like on the docker website examples.)
Any idea whats wrong here? The same process works perfectly well outside of docker. I've got a feeling its something to do with running Connect on localhost. I've tried various combinations of --add-hosts and -p localhost:8080:8080 and so on to no avail...
If it helps here's my docker file and gruntfile: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7546923/Dockerfile https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7546923/Gruntfile.js
