[SOLVED] curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 10001: Connection refused DOCKER

Issue

I start my docker container with:

docker run -it --expose 10001 --expose 8080 -p 10001:10001 -p 8080:8080 -p 80:80 --rm lucchi/covid90/100e

My docker -ps then has:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                 COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS                  PORTS                                                                  NAMES    
1521e0c3d947        lucchi/covid90/100e   "/bin/sh -c /bin/bash"   2 seconds ago       Up Less than a second   0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp, 0.0.0.0:10001->10001/tcp   funny_panini

But I can't connect to localhost from inside the container. I tried:

curl 0.0.0.0:8080 
curl 127.0.0.1:8080
curl https://localhost:8080

but keep getting

curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 8080: Connection refused

Most of the asnwers I read are about adding -p to the run command, I don't get what I'm missing.

Solution

Are you trying to connect inside the container?

If not, you may fight this other unrelated question (covering the outside container case) helpful:

From inside of a Docker container, how do I connect to the localhost of the machine?
