Overview
I'm running a dotnet core dockerized app and trying to change its default port to http://localhost:8080 via the appsettings.json Urls field. However, I keep getting this error when running the container:
Unable to bind to http://localhost:8080 on the IPv6 loopback interface: 'Cannot assign requested address'.
How can I fix this?
Solution
The solution seems to be to change localhost to host.docker.internal. I don't really know why this is but that worked for me.
