ping from a docker container to a PBX sip server which is lying in the same lan as the host machine

Question

Can somebody provide some pointers how to ping from a docker container to a PBX sip server which is lying in the same lan as the host machine and vice versa ..actually I moved my application to a docker container..host machine just forward the port but the sip request contains the docker container ip ..do we have any options in docker network which could make the docker container ip accessible from host lan network so that other machines which are in the same lan can ping the docker container..or is there a different approach I should follow?

Hey @Laksha, Look at how you're starting the container...you probably need to publish the ports you want to use.
Depending on the image you're using you can do a docker exec -it /bin/bash <container>. (or /bin/ash) to get inside
