Can not connect to foundationdb docker container

Using FoundationDB
1

Hi, I am trying very base thing:

  1. Ran official foundationdb/foundationdb docker image on ubuntu 18.4, using command

docker run --name fdb foundationdb/foundationdb

  1. Came in the docker container to create database

docker exec -it fdb fdbcli
fdb> configure new single memory
fdb>status details

fdbi> status gives me some good values:
…
172.17.0.2:4500 (reachable)
…

  1. On Host machine I create new [file path]/myfdb.cluster
    HUIGHOIU:HHKJ@172.17.0.2:4500

4 .Now I try to connect to the database from host machine to my db in docker container using that file
fdbcli -C "[file path]/myfdb.cluster"

And I get the followig error:

The database is unavalable;…

fdb> status details gives me:

I would expect that this is again a case of host<->docker NAT’d networks. See fdbcli access external [docker] for another instance, and your solution is going to be to run your host client in the same docker network that your server is running in.
