I am hosting a mysql server and a go http server in docker. I am unable to hit the http server from my host machine. My host machine is a mac.
I have tried using localhost:8080 and ipofserver:8080. I get the ip from the docker inspect. I am able to connect to my mysql server from my host, but i can't hit the server from the host.
Here is my docker ps output.
0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp
0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp, 33060/tcp
Below are my details:

In order to expose the web server from inside the container to the host it needs to bind to 0.0.0.0 and not to 127.0.0.1. Using 0.0.0.0 ensures that the web server binds to the bridge interface that can be accessed from the host side.
