Question
Docker --net=host does not forward ports
On my local machine setting --net=host on a container makes the container visible on any ports it is using. On a Docker Ubuntu 16.04 droplet the port is not accessible with --net=host.
Simplified Example:
This works:
docker run -p 8000:8000 -it python python -m http.server
This does not work:
docker run --net=host -p 8000:8000 -it python python -m http.server
How can I make the ports of the container application exposed with docker run --net=host ...?

works on regular DigitalOcean Ubuntu droplets- that is how I am currently mitigating my issue
