# Aider chat conversation:
USER: when i run `curl http://127.0.0.1:11434` inside the container, it "Couldn't connect to server". i want it to connect to the server running on the host computer on that port. the host is a mac.
ASSISTANT: To allow the Docker container to connect to the host machine on macOS, you can use the special DNS name `host.docker.internal` which resolves to the internal IP address used by the host. This is a feature provided by Docker for Mac to facilitate such connections.
Here's the diff to update the `docker.sh` script to include the `--add-host` flag, which adds an entry to the container's `/etc/hosts` file:
```diff
--- benchmark/docker.sh
+++ benchmark/docker.sh
@@ ... @@
docker run \
-it --rm \
-v `pwd`:/aider \
-v `pwd`/tmp.benchmarks/.:/benchmarks \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY \

-e AIDER_DOCKER=1 \

+ --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
--net=host \
-p 11434:11434 \
aider-benchmark \
bash
```
With this change, when you run `curl http://host.docker.internal:11434` inside the container, it should connect to the server running on the host computer on that port.
# Aider chat conversation:
USER: add a port fwd so a client inside the contain can connect to the ollama server running on the host
ASSISTANT: To forward a port so that a client inside the container can connect to the Ollama server running on the host, you need to add a `--publish` or `-p` option to the `docker run` command in the `benchmark/docker.sh` script. This option takes the format `host_port:container_port`.
Assuming the Ollama server is running on port 12345 on the host, and you want to use the same port inside the container, the diff would look like this:
```diff
--- benchmark/docker.sh
+++ benchmark/docker.sh
@@ ... @@
docker run \
-it --rm \
-v `pwd`:/aider \
-v `pwd`/tmp.benchmarks/.:/benchmarks \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY \

-e AIDER_DOCKER=1 \
-e AIDER_BENCHMARK_DIR=/benchmarks \
+ -p 12345:12345 \
aider-benchmark \
bash
```
This change will forward port 12345 from the host to port 12345 in the container, allowing a client inside the container to connect to the Ollama server running on the host machine.

^C KeyboardInterrupt
USER: run a docker with python3.8 and launch bash
ASSISTANT: To run a Docker container with Python 3.8 and launch bash, you need to modify the `docker.sh` script in the `benchmark` directory.
Here is the change you need to make:
```bash
benchmark/docker.sh
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
=======
#!/bin/bash
docker run -it --rm python:3.8 bash
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This script will start a Docker container using the Python 3.8 image and launch bash. You can run this script from the terminal with the command `./benchmark/docker.sh`. Make sure the script has execute permissions. You can add them with the command `chmod +x benchmark/docker.sh` if needed.
