I am very new to docker. I have inherited some code which was running in a unknown configuration to publish a website (with a MYSQL backend). I am trying to install and run this on AWS ubuntu linux server.
I have managed to successfuly finish docker compose with the following result:
docker ps
is successful docker ps
This is supposed to run a website that I want to access via the internet. I have opened up port 80 in the security group of the EC2.
However when I visit the page http://...:80 i don't see anything.
I suspect this is something very simple that I am missing. Appreciate any help.

It could be a lot of different issues, but a simple thing that a lot of people miss, is opening the port for the container by adding this line to your service in the docker-compose.yml file
ports:
- "80:80"
to open port 80 in this case.
CodePudding user response：
By default, when you create or run a container using docker create or docker run, it does not publish any of its ports to the outside world.
You can use -p 8080:80 to map TCP port 80 in the container to port 8080 on the ec2 host.
