Connects with 127.0.0.1 instead of host parameter value when running in a container.

[chainhead]

I am running my container as follows:

docker run --rm -p 80:3001 -it $(pwd)/conf/server.json:/app/conf/server.json -v $(pwd)/conf/redis.json:/app/conf/redis.json username/reponame:tag

Before making the connection, the options object for Redis connection does have the values as defined in $(pwd)/conf/redis.json. The connection fails with the following error.

Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379

How to get around this problem?

Could you reduce this down to something outside of docker? Too many factors to consider.

At first glance it looks like your docker instance is unable to connect to redis.
