Docker of Gateway Bridge cannot see port 1883 of a broker (Windows 10)

#1

I have an MQTT broker (mosquitto) running in Windows 10. It is tested and fully working on 127.0.0.1. I have a Docker container of the Chirpstack Gateway Bridge. It attempts to connect to the broker through port 1883, but always fails. I should see it failing to connect in the log of the broker but nothing appears there. The same error occurs “connection refused” even when the broker is turned off. I suspect the container is not getting outside of itself to communicate with port 1883 on the host. Your thoughts?

Please search forums for this error, which likely has to do with docker not chirpstack.
