I'm using the new Docker-for-Mac to run the daemon like this:
$docker run -d --name bitcoind -e BITCOIN_DATA=/data \
-v ${PWD}/bitcoind:/data -p 8332:8332 seegno/bitcoind:latest \
-server -rpcuser=test -rpcpassword=nopass -rpcallowip=192.168.1.67 \
-printtoconsole -debug=rpc
where the IP address I allow is my default:
$ ifconfig |grep inet |grep -v inet6
inet 127.0.0.1 nitmask 0xff000000
inet 192.168.1.67 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
I then run my app:
var BTC = require('bitcoin-core');
var opts = {
host: 'localhost',
port: 8332,
username: 'test',
password: 'nopass'
};
btc = new BTC(opts);
btc.getNewAddress().then(function(s) {
console.log(s);
});
and get:

though I seem able to connect to the server:
$ telnet localhost 8332
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
it doesn't hang up on me with a connection error... what am I missing?
* edit I *
well... if I run the daemon with -logips and make my attempt I see:
2016-07-09 18:32:26 Received a POST request for / from 172.17.0.1:50262
instead of the IP address I expected. I gather it's the IP address of the VM that Docker runs, that somehow gets routed to the container. so now the question is: how do I discover that IP address from my node app so I can whitelist it?
and... (drumroll) the answer seems to be that I can pick it up from the docker inspect NetworkSettings.Gateway key. but... in fact, I can bake it into the CLI because for this image the gateway is always the same
