Port redirection
================
Docker can redirect public tcp ports to your container, so it can be reached over the network.
Port redirection is done on ``docker run`` using the -p flag.
Here are the 3 ways to redirect a port:
A port redirect is specified as PUBLIC:PRIVATE, where tcp port PUBLIC will be redirected to
tcp port PRIVATE. As a special case, the public port can be omitted, in which case a random
public port will be allocated.
.. code-block:: bash
# the port 80 in the container is mapped to a random port of the host
# A random PUBLIC port is redirected to PRIVATE port 80 on the container
docker run -p 80 <image> <cmd>
# the port 80 in the container is mapped to the port 80 of the host
docker run -p :80 <image> <cmd>
# PUBLIC port 80 is redirected to PRIVATE port 80
docker run -p 80:80 <image <cmd>
# the port 80 in the container is mapped to the port 5555 of the host
docker run -p 5555:80 <image <cmd>
Default port redirects can be built into a container with the EXPOSE build command.
