Understanding docker port mappings
Above answer is correct I am trying to explain another way which helped me understand port mappings.
docker ps ExanpleContainter
Ports
10.10.10.10:443->443/tcp, 0.0.0.0:1937->1937/tcp
Here your container ExanpleContainer is exposing two ports.
- 10.10.10.10:443->443/tcp
- 0.0.0.0:1937->1937/tcp
Output in following format,
[IP_ADDR]:{PORT_OUTSIDE_CONTAINER} -> {PORT_INSIDE_CONTAINER} / {PROTOCOL}
Now while creating container if you don't specify which internal ports to map it will map random ports but in your case both (host and exposed) ports are mapped same.
10.10.10.10:443->443/tcp
This means docker host IP 10.10.10.10 on port 443 is mapped to specified container on port 443. packets arriving at that ip port combination will be accessible in the container on the same port (443)
0.0.0.0:1937->1937/tcp
Packets arriving on all available IP addresses (0.0.0.0) on docker host on port 1937 are accessible on specified container on the same port (1937)
Read explanation in the answer and compare it to output of docker inspect ExanpleContainter.
