I've created a mongodb container in docker with this command:

from host1:

docker run -p 27017:27017 mongo --bind_ip_all

I know host1.ip.

I find out container id with:

docker inspect <mongo_id>

For example container.ip = 172.17.0.2

From host2

if I run:

mongo --host: <host1.ip>:27017

it works

But if run

mongo --host: 172.17.0.2:27017

I get this error:

MongoDB shell version v3.6.3 connecting to: mongodb://172.17.0.2:27017/ 2018-06-20T13:54:17.111+0200 W NETWORK [thread1] Failed to connect to 172.17.0.2:27017, in(checking socket for error after poll), reason: No route to host 2018-06-20T13:54:17.111+0200 E QUERY [thread1] Error: couldn't connect to server 172.17.0.2:27017, connection attempt failed : connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:251:13 @(connect):1:6 exception: connect failed

I'd know why it doesn't work and what i can do to manage that

Always remember to access your services or containers through hostnames, and never through IP's. As IP Address will change. – Shankar Shastri Jun 20 '18 at 12:11
And 172 network is a private network. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network – Shankar Shastri Jun 20 '18 at 12:12
I know 172 is private network. But I think that if host1 and host2 are connected by wifi to same router i should not haveproblems. Isn't so? – Christian Sicari Jun 20 '18 at 12:29
Nope. I don't think it will be reachable. – Shankar Shastri Jun 20 '18 at 12:36
What have i to do for set a Host nome for each container? – Christian Sicari Jun 20 '18 at 21:52
