Background
VT uses a chunk of the 172 private network address space for it's internal private addressing. Docker comes pre-configured to also uses 172.17.0.0/12 which will cause the internal system to ignore any external 172.17.x.x/12 address trying to access the system. To fix this you need to reconfigure your docker to use a different address space like 192.168.x.x/16 or a 10.1.x.x/16 (tech also uses 10.6+.x.x for their networking so this is less safe although 10.5 and lower are guaranteed to be free).
The Fix
To apply the docker fix, create a file called /etc/docker/daemon.json with the following:
{
"default-address-pools":
[
{"base":"10.1.0.0/16","size":24}
]
}
Followed by:
sudo service docker restart
