Hyperledger sawtooth installation No connectivity between host computer and docker container

Question

I'm trying to check the connectivity from the host computer to the Docker container, running the following command:

curl http://localhost:8008/blocks

curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 8008: Connection refused

Here is the yaml file:

version: "2.1"

Answer 1

you should pass the port from local computer to Docker container.

more here

try to pass -p 8008:8008 as an argument when running the container

For example. docker run -d -p 8008:8008 my_image

Hey, @Vignesh,

You can do one thing to avoid your error, in the first terminal when you force to stop or just stop sawtooth. So run sawtooth again and when checking connectivity in the host machine use:

curl http://192.168.99.100:8008/blocks

i.e

curl http://<your ip address>/blocks

I hope this helps.

Check the ip used by docker. If you are using docker toolbox instead of localhost it uses a different ip which is displayed at the start. Check that and try again.
