07/01/2022, 4:20 PMHello! I'm running into some trouble using SuperTokens in a docker setup. My app service is trying to connect to my supertokens service on localhost:3567, but I'm seeing this error in the console.log. Any suggestions?

07/01/2022, 5:12 PMYup! I'm pretty new to docker concepts, so if there's a better way/different setup you'd suggest I'm all ears

07/01/2022, 5:12 PMRight I see. So if you use localhost inside a docker container, it points to inside that container and not your machine
