How can I expose more than 1 port with Docker?

So I have 3 ports that should be exposed to the machine's interface. Is it possible to do this with a Docker container?

If you are creating a container from an image and like to expose multiple ports (not publish) you can use the following command:

docker create --name `container name` --expose 7000 --expose 7001 `image name`

Now, when you start this container using the docker start command, the configured ports above will be exposed.

Use this as an example:

docker create --name new_ubuntu -it -p 8080:8080 -p  15672:15672 -p 5432:5432   ubuntu:latest bash

look what you've created(and copy its CONTAINER ID xxxxx):

docker ps -a 

now write the miracle maker word(start):

docker start xxxxx

good luck

Only one point to add. you have the option to specify a range of ports to expose in the dockerfile and when running it:

on dockerfile:

EXPOSE 8888-8898

Build image:

docker build -t <image_name>:<version> -f dockerfile .

When running the image:

docker run -it -p 8888-8898:8888-8898 -v C:\x\x\x:/app <image_name>:<version>
