ServiceAddress is empty when using Consul Registrator - service

}

This is what I get from querying the Consul service API (/v1/catalog/service/service1).
Commands that I used to start registrator and services:
docker run -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock -h $HOSTNAME gliderlabs/registrator consul://consul-staging-a-1.org:8500
docker run -d -p 4003:5000 -e "SERVICE_NAME=service1" docker-training/hello-world
docker run -d -p 4007:5000 -e "SERVICE_NAME=service1" docker-training/hello-world
Any steps I'm doing wrong? How do you assign the hostname to ServiceAddress field?

Answer 1

I had similar issue and found that before v6 Consul Registrator leaves ServiceAddress empty, but in v6 (at the moment the latest) it is "0.0.0.0". I've tried to use "-ip" option but it did not help, somehow it assigns internal IP address of the container. Found related issues at:
https://github.com/gliderlabs/registrator/issues/240
In my case I fixed it by binding container to IP address like:
docker run -d -p 10.0.0.3:4003:5000 -e "SERVICE_NAME=service1" docker-training/hello-world
