Docker is not allowing connections to port 4000, sometimes #41

I can get the site to run on my laptop, but on my iMac (and @TinaHeiligers's computer) it errors out. Chrome replies with ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE when you connect to localhost:4000.

This may be a clue, or it may be a red herring, but my iMac it binds to the address as http://127.0.0.1:4000 and on my laptop (which works) it's http://0.0.0.0:4000. Not sure why that's different.

My laptop is on High Sierra and my iMac is on [sober] Sierra, but I don't think that would make a difference. Docker version is the same.

If you figure this one out, I'll take you to lunch.

I spent some time troubleshooting this. I also can't hit it from my Mac (High Sierra). I tried hitting localhost:4000, 127.0.0.1:4000, 0.0.0.0:4000, and messing around with the EXPOSE and ports settings and seeing if i could get to 80. Haven't tried changing the jekyll config stuff yet (defaults to port 4000), and all my internet searches do is recommend to access it through the IP address of the docker container by running docker-machine ip but that seems to be tied to running the container on a VM, which I'm not doing. That is how all the posts on stackoverflow fix it though, so maybe I'm missing something on how docker-machine works. I did try running docker inspect [container ID] and using the IP address that way to hit [ip_address]:4000 but still no dice. The message I get is The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

It seems to be a fairly common error that people hit when doing the intro Docker tutorial, but that intro worked for me, so I feel like there's just a small missing piece here. Although, I did have to use 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost for the tutorial, and for this repo my laptop (which doesn't work, similarly to scott's iMac) binds to 127.0.0.1.

🚨 You don't need to stand up the server via Docker. You can cd into the docs folder and then run jekyll directly via:

bundle exec jekyll server --config _local.yml

Note that you would still need ruby and bundler installed previously.
