Hi everyone! I have an Ubuntu 14 machine with Nginx and Docker… Nginx is set to listen to localhost:80 and forwarding requests to Docker’s network, where is running a container with a second Nginx and a Laravel App.
if i use the default docker bridge network, i always get problem with communications between nginx on ubuntu machine and the container into docker’s network. When i try to set up the “host_binding_ipv4” parameter i get this error back: “error response from Deamon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint. Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:80” note that i want to modify that 0.0.0.0 ip in something like 173.17.0.1 but unsuccessfully. How can i forward the requests to the docker container?
Now i’m trying to use a docker-compose configuration like seguent:
version: '2'
services:
service_laravel:
container_name: service_laravel
restart: always
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
networks:
docker1:
ipv4_address: 173.17.0.2
ports:
- 8000:80
networks:
docker1:
driver: bridge
ipam:
driver: default
config:
- subnet: 173.17.0.0/16
gateway: 173.17.0.1
…with this nginx configuration…
#Ubuntu Nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
# Proxying the connections
location / {
proxy_pass http://173.17.0.1:8000;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
}
}
…i have a Dockerfile that build the container with laravel and Nginx… but i get this error when i run “docker-compose up”
ERROR: yaml.parser.ParserError: while parsing a block collection
in "./docker-compose.yml", line 23, column 13
expected <block end>, but found '?'

Yaml weirdness, but try aligning your subnet and gateway tags:
version: '2'
services:
service_laravel:
container_name: service_laravel
restart: always
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
networks:
docker1:
ipv4_address: 173.17.0.2
ports:
- 8000:80
networks:
docker1:
driver: bridge
ipam:
driver: default
config:
- subnet: 173.17.0.0/16
gateway: 173.17.0.1
