What should I do if the project behind the docker mirror cannot be accessed?

In recent years, with the rapid development of cloud computing, Docker technology, as an emerging virtualization technology, has been widely used in application development, testing, deployment, etc. Docker packages the application and its dependencies into a standardized, lightweight image file. The running environment is isolated from the host environment, allowing the application to run in a consistent manner on any platform.

However, we may encounter some problems during deployment using Docker images. One of the more common ones is that the project behind the Docker image cannot be accessed. Let’s introduce the causes and solutions to this problem.

First of all, we need to understand the network mode of the Docker container. Docker containers have four network modes: bridge, host, container, and none. Among them, bridge mode is the default network mode. In bridge mode, the Docker container and the host are connected through a virtual network, and the containers can also communicate with each other, but they cannot directly access the network resources on the host, and the external network cannot access the services in the container.

Now assume that we have started a Web service inside the container, but the service cannot be accessed from the host or the external network, what should we do? There are two solutions:

Method 1: Use the -p or --publish option to map the port in the container to the port on the host. For example, use the following command to map port 80 in the container to port 8080 on the host:

docker run -p 8080:80 image-name

In this way, when we enter http://localhost:8080 in the browser , you can access the Web service in the container.

Method 2: Change the container’s network mode to host mode. Use the following command to change the container's network mode to host mode:

docker run --net=host image-name

In host mode, the container and the host share the same network namespace, and the services in the container will be performed through the IP address on the host. At the same time, the services in the container can also be accessed directly through the network interface on the host.

To summarize, if the project behind the Docker image cannot be accessed, we need to first check whether the network mode of the container is bridge mode. If so, we need to solve the problem by port mapping or modifying the container's network mode. Of course, if the network module is not the problem, we also need to consider whether there are errors in other aspects, such as whether the service starts normally, whether the firewall is turned on, etc.

When using Docker for application development and deployment, we also need to master more Docker-related knowledge, such as the preparation of Dockerfile, the use of Docker Compose, the application of Docker Swarm, etc. These technologies will help improve our application development efficiency and deployment success rate.
