Wildfly in Docker container not starting

Question

I'm trying to access the welcome page of Wildfly running on a Docker container in Windows 10 Pro. This is what I did:

Pulled the image:

docker pull jboss/wildfly

Run Wildfly container (this works fine, in the Wildfly log I can see it started correctly):

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 jboss/wildfly

Find the container ID:

docker ps

Inspect the IP address:

docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" cac63ed21d78

The IP address is 172.17.0.2, in a browser I go to http://172.17.0.2:8080/ but the browser hangs and times out. What am I missing?

UPDATE

I also tried with 127.0.0.1:8080 and it's not working either

UPDATE2

Console log:

docker --version

#Docker version 19.03.1, build 74b1e89e8a

docker run hello-world

#Hello from Docker!

docker run --detach --publish 8080:80 --name webserver nginx

Answer 1

By default, when you create a container, it does not publish any of its ports to the outside world. Network 172.17.X.X is internal. If you need to bind IP address to host ip run docker container with -p flag, like that:

-p 8080:8080

Map TCP port 8080 in the container to port 8080 on the Docker host

Answer 2

From: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/networking/

Port forwarding works for localhost; --publish, -p, or -P all work. Ports exposed from Linux are forwarded to the host.

So it should be accessible from http://localhost:8080

If that doesn't work, then try the windows example

docker run -d -p 80:80 --name webserver nginx

Which should be accessible http://localhost:80

https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/index#explore-the-application-and-run-examples

---

If even that fails try:

docker-machine ip default

And use http://[docker-machine-ip]:80
