Docker container creation instance process

Alright, from what I’m seeing, here’s the situation:

  1. Instability in connecting to Aloft01:
    The error Unable to connect because the target computer refused the connection at 127.0.0.1:8081 suggests either the instance (Aloft01) isn’t starting properly in its Docker container or maybe something external—like a firewall or Docker networking—might be the troublemaker.

  2. Missing MaxMind.Db plugin error:
    This isn’t critical unless you need GeoIP lookups. AMP will try to download this database automatically if it’s not there, but if it keeps failing, there might be a deeper problem with permissions or connectivity.

What’s next:

Step 1: Ensure Aloft01 is running

  • Go to the AMP web interface (via ADS at http://192.168.100.147:8080) and check on Aloft01.
  • Confirm its status is marked as “Running.”
    If it’s not started, try to start it manually from the UI.

Step 2: Diagnose Docker’s networking

In Docker, localhost (127.0.0.1) is container-specific. So AMP might not be able to reach Aloft01 because it’s on a different “virtual network”. These commands (run in PowerShell or Command Prompt) can help:

  • List all running containers:
    docker ps
  • Find the IP of Aloft01’s container:
    docker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' CONTAINER_NAME_OR_ID
    Replace CONTAINER_NAME_OR_ID with the value from docker ps.

Compare Aloft01’s Docker container IP to 127.0.0.1:8081. You might need to update the “Managed Endpoint” for the instance from ADS. Let me know what pops up!
