Connect to other Docker container

Other Docker container can either be accessed by connecting back to the host os or by adding its image directly to the Devilbox stack.

Any Docker container on host os

To connect to any other Docker container on your host os from within the Devilbox Docker container, you first need to make sure, you are able to connect to your host os from within the Devilbox Docker container.

connect_to_host_os
Once you are able to connect to the host os, start any other Docker container and make its port that you want to access available to your host os by specifying -p. An example with e.g. an external Grafana container might look like this:
```
host> docker run -d --name=grafana -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana
```
You can then connect to your host os on port 3000 from within the Devilbox Docker container and be able to use it.

Alternatively you can also add any Docker container to the Devilbox network by adding an image it to the Devilbox stack directly.
