Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). The following command starts netcat in a container that listens on port 8000 Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker run --rm -it --net=host nicolaka/netshoot nc -lkv 0.0.0.0 8000 ``` Port 8000 will then be available on the host and you can connect to it with the following command from another terminal Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ nc localhost 8000 ``` What you type in here will then appear on the terminal where the container is running. To access a service running on the host from the container, you can start a container with host networking enabled with this command Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker run --rm -it --net=host nicolaka/netshoot ``` If you then want to access a service on your host from the container (in this example a web server running on port 80), you can do it like this Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ nc localhost 80 ``` Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
