On Mac and Windows it is possible to use docker.for.mac.host.internal (replaces docker.for.mac.localhost) and docker.for.win.host.internal (replaces docker.for.win.localhost)host.docker.internal (Docker 18.03+) inside container.
Is there one for Linux that will work out of the box without passing env variables or extracting it using various CLI commands?

docker. internal command to connect to the host on Linux machines. According to the Docker documentation, if the host has a changing IP address, we can connect to the host using host. docker. internal , which resolves to the internal IP address of the host.
In Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows, you can connect to the host out of the box by using the special DNS name: host.docker.internal. For Linux, you need the magic string host-gateway to map to the gateway inside the container. This allows you to use the hostname host. docker.
The Docker platform runs natively on Linux (on x86-64, ARM and many other CPU architectures) and on Windows (x86-64). Docker Inc. builds products that let you build and run containers on Linux, Windows and macOS.
Talking about Docker host, it is the server machine on which Docker daemon runs. Whereas the Docker containers are running instances of Docker images. Docker host can be Bare metal, VM image, iso, image hosted on some clouds etc.
Depends what you're trying to do. If you're running with --net=host, localhost should work fine. If you're using default networking, use the static IP 172.17.0.1. I suspect neither will behave quite the same as those domains.
