docker consul-server not exposing port

[perrohunter]

Following the quickstart guide, after successfully starting a consul, I cannot perform curl calls to it

docker run -d --name=consul -p 8300:8300 -p 8500:8500 --net=host gliderlabs/consul-server -bootstrap -advertise=127.0.0.1

issuing docker ps list the container but no open ports.

I'm using the Docker 1.11 Beta for OS X

hi @perrohunter
I can see the ports open though I'm encountering some other issue.
I'm using Docker for OS X Beta: Version 1.11.2-beta15 (build: 9168)

but I failed to run registrator docker:

nick@localhost ~ $ docker logs registrator

if tried to list consul nodes with curl:

nick@localhost ~ $ curl -L http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/catalog/node
Missing node name%

but the same commands all works fine within my Ubuntu 14.04 VirtualBox VM.

looks like if I add --net=host, I got the same issue as @perrohunter :

vagrant@vagrant:~$ docker run -d --name=consul --net=host -p 8400:8400 -p 8500:8500 gliderlabs/consul-server -node node1 -bootstrap -advertise 192.168.59.104 -client 0.0.0.0

without --net-host:

@missedone If you're trying to list the nodes, the reason you're getting the Missing node name error is the /node endpoint is a show action. To actually list, try the plural:

curl -L http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/catalog/nodes

You should get something like:

[{"Node":"consul1","Address":"172.17.0.2"},{"Node":"consul2","Address":"172.17.0.3"},{"Node":"consul3","Address":"172.17.0.4"}]```

Also I've written a little helper bash script for myself to make this work and give access to the web UI as well. BTW This is with docker version 1.12.5 on macOS.

# consul.sh

# Spins up three consul containers in a cluster and outputs the IP Address of the first node

function consul_start() {
	docker run -d -p 8400:8400 -p 8500:8500 -p 8600:53/udp \
		--name consul1 -h consul1 progrium/consul -server \
		-bootstrap-expect 3 -ui-dir /ui
	JOIN_IP=$(docker inspect -f '{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}' consul1)
	docker run -d --name consul2 -h consul2 progrium/consul -server -join $JOIN_IP
	docker run -d --name consul3 -h consul3 progrium/consul -server -join $JOIN_IP

	echo "Consul IP: $JOIN_IP"
        echo "Visit: http://127.0.0.1:8500/ui"
}

function consul_stop() {
	docker stop consul1 consul2 consul3
}

function consul_kill() {
	consul_stop
	docker rm consul1 consul2 consul3
}

case "$1" in
	start)
		consul_start
		;;
	stop)
		consul_stop
		;;
	kill)
		consul_kill
		;;
	*)
	 	echo "USAGE: consul.sh start|stop|kill"
		;;
