Find a workaround to have multiple projects running and talking on MacOS

[damienalexandre]

We want to use two Docker stater based project at the same time.

And project A needs to talk to project B.

It works well on Linux but as the network_mode "host" is not available on MacOS and Windows, we are stuck.

docker-starter/infrastructure/docker/docker-compose.docker-for-x.yml

Lines 7 to 8 in 7ae34d5

	# Docker for Mac or Windows does not support the "network_mode=host"
	# So we use the default network mode and we map all needed ports

docker/for-mac#1031

We added this on our frontend from project A:

    frontend:
        build: services/frontend
        extra_hosts:
            - 'project-b.test:172.17.0.1' # Allow talking to project B, docker0 IP

If you control both projet, you can put both projets in the same docker network. Then to access a container, use its name

Closing, as explained :)
