Connecting to the host of the current container #592

Closed OliwerXi closed 1 year ago

What version of Docker.DotNet?:

3.125.12

Additional information: So I've been looking around the README on here without any success in finding what I am looking for, so I decided to open this issue. What is on my mind is; I am running the main application inside of a Docker container and the application is going to be making use of this client lib - is there a way to connect to the host with Docker.DotNet from the main app that is inside an already constructed container?

Yes, that works fine. It is not limited by Docker.DotNet. You just have to provide access to the Docker daemon. There are different ways to accomplish it. I described two of them here: https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-dotnet/issues/492#issuecomment-1171283803 or just search for something like Docker in Docker.

I guess I used the wrong choice of words when re-searching this. Once I worded it access docker daemon inside container, there was many more results and found out I can mount the socket initially. Cheers, @HofmeisterAn.
