port mapping issue

The command docker run -p 127.0.0.0:3010:3010/tcp --network=aquila --name aquila aquilacms/aquilacms looks mostly correct, but there's a potential issue with the port mapping.

The port mapping syntax should be in the format -p host_port:container_port. In your command, you have specified 127.0.0.0:3010:3010/tcp, where 127.0.0.0 seems unusual for specifying the host. Typically, you would use 0.0.0.0 to bind to all network interfaces on the host.

To fix this, you should use 0.0.0.0:3010:3010/tcp instead of 127.0.0.0:3010:3010/tcp. This will bind the container's port 3010 to all network interfaces on the host, allowing access from outside the Docker container.

Here's the corrected command:

docker run -p 0.0.0.0:3010:3010/tcp --network=aquila --name aquila aquilacms/aquilacms

After running this command, you should be able to access your application using http://localhost:3010 or <your_host_ip>:3010 from your web browser, assuming your application is running correctly inside the Docker container.

In the context of Docker port mapping, 127.0.0.0 isn't a commonly used IP address. Typically, 127.0.0.1 is used to refer to the loopback address of the local machine, which means the service is only accessible from the same machine where it's running.

However, specifying 127.0.0.0 in the port mapping of Docker run command doesn't behave the same way as 127.0.0.1. In Docker, 127.0.0.0 doesn't have a special meaning and might be interpreted differently by different systems or networking configurations.

In most cases, you would use 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.0 to bind to all network interfaces on the host, allowing access to the service from other machines on the same network.

It's possible that the user might have intended to bind only to the loopback interface (127.0.0.1), but specifying 127.0.0.0 here is likely a mistake. If they want to bind to the loopback interface, they should explicitly use 127.0.0.1. Otherwise, using 0.0.0.0 is appropriate for binding to all interfaces.
