how can i direct a port to alias on apache

Question

i installed docker on my laptop and i have trouble remembering every port open by docker. so I want to point it to an alias on apache. example:

i am running a web app in docker with port 8082 i want to access it via http://localhost/myapp without using the port.

this my httpd.conf

DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs"

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes

    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted


    alias /myapp
    ProxyPassMatch ^/myapp !
    ProxyPass /myapp http://localhost:9000/
    ProxyPassReverse /myapp http://localhost:9000/

how can i do it?

Browsers communicate over port 80 by default for http and 443 for https. If you want to be able to access your application from localhost without explicitly stating the port, you can bind the container port to a host port when using docker run. Example:

# -p HOST:CONTAINER
docker run -p 80:9000 <my_image>

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#publish-or-expose-port--p---expose

# -p HOST:CONTAINER
docker run -p 80:9000
