How to access Gitlab's metrics (Prometheus and Grafana) from Docker installation?-CodePudding

I installed Gitlab using Docker image on a Ubuntu virtual machine running on a MAC M1 as follows (https://hub.docker.com/r/yrzr/gitlab-ce-arm64v8):

docker run \
  --detach \
  --restart always \
  --name gitlab-ce \
  --privileged \
  --memory 4096M \
  --publish 22:22 \
  --publish 80:80 \
  --publish 443:443 \
  --hostname 127.0.0.1 \
  --env GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG=" \
    nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true; "\
  --volume /srv/gitlab-ce/conf:/etc/gitlab:z \
  --volume /srv/gitlab-ce/logs:/var/log/gitlab:z \
  --volume /srv/gitlab-ce/data:/var/opt/gitlab:z \
  yrzr/gitlab-ce-arm64v8:latest

All seems to be working correctly on localhost, except that I can't access the metrics, I got unable to connect error on:

Prometheus: http://localhost:9090
Grafana: http://localhost/-/grafana

I tried enabling metrics as in the documentation, and docker exec -it gitlab-ce gitlab-ctl reconfigure

What I'm missing?
Thanks

When Gitlab uses localhost this will resolve the localhost on the container and not the host (so your Mac).

There are two options to solve this:

Use host.docker.internal instead of localhost (this resolves to the internal IP address used by the host) - see this doc for more info
Configure your container to use the host network by adding this to the docker run command: --network=host which will let your container and host to share the same network stack (however, this is not supported nu Docker Desktop for mac according to this)
