Question

Why do I get Connection reset by peer when making a request to a service running in a container

Answer 1

Typically, this message is returned if the service is already bound to your localhost. 

As a result, requests coming to the container from outside are dropped. 

To correct this problem, change the service’s configuration on your localhost so that the service accepts requests from all IPs. If you aren’t sure how to do this, check the documentation for your OS.
