I have a running apache webserver in centos docker container which is hosted by AWS redhat instance.

I am able to curl my container webserver in AWS instance local host but unable to access publicly in my laptop web browser.

details of the Webserver:

docker run -d --name httpd -p 8080:8080 -v /home/ec2-user/apache/web1/www:/var/www:Z docker.io/centos/httpd-24-centos7

The output of docker ps:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                              NAMES

    Hurray it Worked!!!

    But not sure how it worked actually ;-) Will try to find out that...

    I just stopped all apache containers and removed them entirely. Then executed the below command and everything worked perfect.

    While using the below make sure you are mapping the volume (-v) correctly to the index.html file in your host.

    docker run -d --name httpd -p 9080:8080 -v /home/ec2-user/apache/web1/www/html:/var/www/html:Z docker.io/centos/httpd-24-centos7
