This distinction is crucial for networking. To establish a connection from your container to services running on the host, you should use the DNS name `host.docker.internal` instead of `localhost`. This DNS name is specially recognized by Docker to facilitate such connections, effectively treating the host as a reachable entity from within the container, thus bypassing the usual `localhost` scope limitation. -#### **Q: How do I make my host's services accessible to Docker containers?** +#### **Q: How do I make my host's services accessible to Docker containers?** **A:** To make services running on the host accessible to Docker containers, configure these services to listen on all network interfaces, using the IP address `0.0.0.0`, instead of `127.0.0.1` which is limited to `localhost` only. This configuration allows the services to accept connections from any IP address, including Docker containers. It's important to be aware of the security implications of this setup, especially when operating in environments with potential external access. Implementing appropriate security measures, such as firewalls and authentication, can help mitigate risks. @@ -87,7 +87,7 @@ Everything you need to run Open WebUI, including your data, remains within your #### **Q: I tried to login and couldn't, made a new account and now I'm being told my account needs to be activated by an admin.** -**A:** This situation occurs when you forget the password for the initial admin account created during the first setup.
