Exposing hyperkit ip address for network=host setting

docker engine version: 19.03.8
docker desktop version: 2.2.0.4
hyperkit version: v0.20190802-4-g97f091

I am trying to run several containers inside of aws fargate task for an application I'm developing. All containers using the fargate service share a network interface, so to replicate this configuration locally I'm trying to use a docker-compose file where my containers are set to use the network=host option.

The containers are able to run as expected but I am not able to access any of the network services they provide. I'm guessing this is because they are sharing a network namespace with the docker engine's hyperkit vm rather than one with my mac computer.

I believe I can query for the hyperkit vm ip with the following command $ docker run --network host alpine ifconfig eth0. However, I still can't access the services using ports against this ip nor can I reach it using the ping command. Is there any way expose this ip when using network=host mode?

Thanks!

Start by reproducing the reported setup with Docker Compose using network=host, then run docker run --network host alpine ifconfig eth0 as described. Trace how HyperKit and Docker Desktop expose networking for host-mode containers; done means the relevant VM address and its container services are reachable from the Mac.
