Can't connect to wallet RPC

[alenn-m]

It's probably a stupid question but I can't fix this issue. I'm running a Steem node which is built with docker, everything is ok there, I can connect to RPC with curl and commands are executing properly. I need some commands from the wallet but they are not available when I list all commands. After reading the documentation I figured out I need to start the cli_wallet and connect it to the steemd, so I tried with this command: docker exec -it steemd-exchange /usr/local/steemd-default/bin/cli_wallet --server-rpc-endpoint=ws://127.0.0.1:8091 -w /var/steemwallet/wallet.json and this is the error:

Logging RPC to file: logs/rpc/rpc.log
2511124ms th_a       main.cpp:154                  main                 ] wdata.ws_server: ws://127.0.0.1:8091

    asio  websocket.cpp:444 operator()

    {"uri":"ws://127.0.0.1:8091"}
    th_a  websocket.cpp:673 connect

What am I doing wrong? How to use wallet commands with RPC so I can programmatically control my account?

Are you connecting to the correct endpoint?

https://github.com/steemit/steem/blob/master/contrib/steemd.run#L103-L130

ws://127.0.0.1:8091 is only the steemd endpoint if you specified running steemd behind nginx.

Thanks @mvandeberg now the cli_wallet can connect to the steemd, but now I can't connect to the cli_wallet, I tried connecting from the same server and from my computer but it refuses connection. This is the command I used:

docker exec -it steemd-exchange /usr/local/steemd-default/bin/cli_wallet --server-rpc-endpoint=ws://0.0.0.0:8090 -w /var/steemwallet/wallet.json -H 127.0.0.1:8093 --rpc-http-allowip 213.91.104.54 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0

And this is the output:

 2411371ms th_a       main.cpp:101                  main                 ] allowed_ips: ["213.91.104.54","127.0.0.1","0.0.0.0"]

As you can see it's listening to 127.0.0.1:8093 and I allowed my IP address, but when I try to execute any command with curl, my connection is rejected.

If you are attempting to connect from the host machine you will need to map the endpoint for the Docker container when you launch the container.

Yes, I was attempting to connect from the host machine. I exposed the port 8093 in docker. How do I map the endpoint?
