Expose Ports

Network communication is essential when developing for a multi-tier web application like Drupal. Docker automatically isolates each container it runs, only allowing explicit ports to be exposed to the host OS. Docker Compose takes this one step further.

  • Explain how Docker isolates containers
  • Expose a container's ports to the host OS
  • Re-map ports from the container to the host OS
