Parallels + Mac + Docker

Hey.
Is there a way to connect from my parallels windows instance to a website which is running on my docker container?

 

Ive got it:
Hosts file on windows was the key.

 

Hi,
I dont suppose you managed to get an answer to this? I hope you don't mind me posting here - rather than a new similar post - hopefully two of us asking a related question is more likely to get an answer? Or maybe some of the stuff I tried below might help you?
If you rather I create my own thread please let me know..

I have docker running on my Mac M1 which is running a server container accepting WebSocket connections on port 15000. I can connect to it fine from within MacOS - but when I try from the parallels Windows VM - I am not able to connect.

I searched this forum and noted that the Mac host machine is allocated an IP of 10.211.55.2, so I tried connecting to 10.211.55.2:15000 - but nothing.
I also tried adding 10.211.55.2 host to the windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file - and then tried using host:15000 - but still no joy..

 

Also, I forgot to ask - does the type of Network sharing affect the IP address allocated to the host machine?
I also tried adding port forwarding under the Network Advanced settings to forward 15000 to Windows 15000 - did not help...

 

Thanks for the reply @ArthurK4 . Unfortunately that is not working for me.
I can ping my Mac hostname from the Windows VM and that resolves to 10.211.55.2 - but when my application tries to connect to 10.211.55.2:15000 or myhostname:150000 - I just get Connection refused - no other information...
I tried adding the hostname to the hosts file too... nothing doing...
If anyone else has any ideas - I would appreciate the input.
Thanks

 

Please ignore. I was doing a HomerSimpson - was editing a config file - but the example still had 'localhost' hardcoded elsewhere which overrode the config file.
10.211.55.2ort works fine!
