THANK YOU! This not only worked for me, but made very good sense.

I'd like to add that I was creating a FastAPI REST API, and the server part of my pyodbc connection string was confusing to me.

Then I found that ...

"... in the case of Docker for Linux (standard distribution), the IP address of the host will always be 172.17. 0.1 (on the main network of docker, see comments to learn more). This is true of containers attached to the docker0 default bridge interface."

Per The StackOverflow

I hope this helps someone. Took me forever to figure this out.

This worked! I can't thank you enough man.
