I would expect that this is again a case of host\<-\>docker NAT’d networks. See [fdbcli access external [docker]](https://forums.foundationdb.org/t/fdbcli-access-external-docker/1069/) 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.
