Calling services through Kong on Docker

Installation/Setup
1

I have Kong running in Docker on my Win10 laptop.

(And I’m new to Kong as well as Docker, so forgive me if I ask this clumsily…)

Kong is initiated via docker-compose and almost everything seems to be working as expected.

I’m working through the Quick Start and the Configuring a Service tutorials and everything works fine directly from the Kong instance. From my Win10 browser I can also access all the admin API (via localhost:8001). however, I was trying to make the service call using Postman and I can’t ever get a response on localhost:8000.

What configuration am I missing?

I’ve (barely) answered my own question. Poking around other threads on here I saw a theme of using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, so I tried that and - voila! - it works.
