I am using Laradock to run a development version of a website.
It needs to access a database on Amazon through a VPN tunnel.
I have set up the VPN tunnel on my PC using Putty, so I have a local port 1234 forwarding to the remote DB port.
2021-07-05 07:33:12 Local port 1234 forwarding to mydb.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com:1234
How do I configure Laradock and/or Docker to use the tunnel on my local machine?
Alternatively how can I set up a tunnel that the Docker container can use?
Edit: Solved - see answer below
Docker containers use host.docker.internal as the hostname for your local system, so using it as the hostname for the database allows connection to the VPN tunnel.
