CLI port exposure

indirajith

I am not sure, if I can ask general doubts out of the Lab materials. I have a situation where I build a fabric network on different hosts. In this case, I have CLI container in one host which also has a peer. I have another peer on a different host. Now, when I try to join a channel for the peer on the same host as CLI container it works without a problem. But when I try to join peer2 which is on a different host from the CLI, it creates problems. I think its a problem of exposing the right port for the CLI container. Can anyone help if they have already made this work where CLI and peer on different IP/hosts?

I think I have found the solution. We need to add extra_hosts: section in docker-compose file as mentioned in the following link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51816525/hyperledger-fabric-blockchain-multi-host
