I'm unable to connect to my dockerized webpack-dev-server from my host computer. Here's what I have so far.
1) Dockerfile documents exposed 8080 port and finishes with running the webpack-dev-server
Dockerfile:
EXPOSE 8080
CMD npm run start-dev
2) Dockerfile is built into image named 'uxframe'
Command Line:
docker build -t uxframe .
3) 'peteypablo' container is started using uxframe container. 'peteypablo' is listening to all internal IPs and publishes anything on internal port 8080 to port 8080
Command Line:
docker run --name peteypablo --rm -it -p 0.0.0.0:8080:8080 uxframe
4) Webpack Dev Server runs on port 8080 inside a docker container
package.json
"start-dev" : "webpack-dev-server --config ./config/webpack.config.dev.js --public --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080"
5) Check to ensure 'peteypablo' container is running and port is open.
Command Line:
docker ps
Result:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
387751c35091 uxframe "/bin/sh -c 'npm run…" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes 0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp peteypablo
6) Get IP Address of 'peteypablo' container
Command Line:
docker inspect peteypablo | grep IPAddress
Result:
"SecondaryIPAddresses": null,
"IPAddress": "172.17.0.2",
"IPAddress": "172.17.0.2",
7) Try to connect to 172.17.0.2:8080 in browser.
Result:
8) ** Connect to 'peteypablo' and run ifconfig to verify IP addresses. (For those following along, ifconfig requires you to install net-tools in your container. In my Dockerfile it was RUN apt-get install -qy net-tools
)
Command Line:
docker exec -it peteypablo ifconfig
Result:

Still unable to connect to the webpack-dev-server.
