Background:



  • Am using Windows Server 2016

  • Have installed Containers

  • Have installed Docker (not Docker Desktop / Docker for Windows): https://docs.docker.com/install/windows/docker-ee/

  • Have multiple containers running on the same server

  • I need container A to be able to connect to container B (on the same server)

What works:



  • Hard coding the public IP address, container A can call via HTTP container B

What doesn't work



  • Container A tries to use localhost to call over HTTP to container B

  • Have also tried host.docker.internal which absolutely does not work.

What is the best way to do this? I cannot hard code the IP address because the IP address of this server is dynamic on restart, hence why I would like to use something close to localhost.



Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

  • What is wrong with the network that your server has a dynamic IP address?
