Description
There is great documentation on installing ROS 2 in a Docker container and running the demo_nodes talker/listener for a single container or two containers but lacks documentation of the needed parameter (--net=host) for ROS 2 in a container to communicate with distributed ROS 2 nodes.
The ROS 2 invocation to allow non-local topic communication is:
sudo docker run -it --net=host osrf/ros:humble-desktop

Research direction
Start with the linked ROS 2 Docker guide, especially its examples for running nodes in one or two containers. Add an example showing the --net=host parameter for communication with distributed ROS 2 nodes, using the invocation given in the issue. Done means the guide documents this distributed-container case clearly.
