Hi guys quick question say you run a a application on your localhost (example lets say couchdb runing directly on localhost:3434 not in docker).

Now you have a docker container (say caddy, ngnix, etc). Is there a way to allow docker container to acess localhost:3434 WITHOUT using the Host network driver (–net=host)

My solution is to create a docker network with the macvlan driver connected to a bridge interface on the host. Then you make the database listen on the bridge or just leave it on all interfaces. Don’t forget to configure the ips.

I can share my config later.
