I am running an application on host machine on port XYZ.

I was running a docker container and from the container, I need to connect to the application on the host machine on port XYZ

One way which I found out was to restart the container with the following flag

1

--add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway

With this addition, you can refer to the application on the host machine from inside the container by going to host.docker.internal:XYZ

Follow the steps to install Hexo.

I started a ubuntu container in docker and installed some new packages, edited some files and made it so that I can work with it in the future.

Now it I stop accidently delete the container, all my modifications will be lost.

In order to make sure the modifications are saved and I can reuse the same image as and when I need, you need to save the image in your docker account

1

docker commit <containerid> lalitmehta/<container_name>

Any time you need to pull the saved image and run, follow the following step:

1

docker run -ti --entrypoint=sh --name=<name> -p 8081:80 lalitmehta/<container_name>
