Docker Flask App on windows system

[Osaci]

Hello!

I'm trying to build a flask chat app but facing following issue (on windows)

sending post and get requests works fine locally through
127.0.0.1 - - [26/Oct/2024 16:54:56] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
127.0.0.1 - - [26/Oct/2024 16:55:17] "POST /send-message HTTP/1.1" 200 -


but as soon as the app is made into a docker container
the app opens through localhost:5000 and 127.0.0.1:5000 but port 172.17.0.1:5000 refuses to connect.
when request is run through localhost:5000 or 127.0.0.1:5000 the docker app automatically routes it through
172.17.0.1 - - [26/Oct/2024 16:54:56] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
172.17.0.1 - - [26/Oct/2024 16:55:17] "POST /send-message HTTP/1.1" 200 -
which does not get the response.

is there a way to get the 172.17.0.1 to connect or a way to route the post and get through 127.0.0.1 how to change the docker default

from
172.17.0.1 - - [26/Oct/2024 16:54:56] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -

172.17.0.1 - - [26/Oct/2024 16:55:17] "POST /send-message HTTP/1.1" 200 -
