I have a localhost application running on port 5001.

I also have a docker container running that I want to be able to access the application described above but I receive a connection refused error.

I imagine this is because the container needs additional configuration to access the application via the port 5001.

The easiest way would be to use `host` network mode: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#/network-settings. – skovorodkin Oct 04 '16 at 21:00
Or use an [alias on the loopback interface](http://stackoverflow.com/q/39840653/1318694) – Matt Oct 04 '16 at 22:20
Which OS is this for? Linux with native Docker, or Windows/Mac with Docker-Machine? – nwinkler Oct 05 '16 at 11:41
