Answer 1

This is because of Host IP not connected for the port 4242, Need to enter the port on Oracle VM's network, the Docker toolbox using the VM with Linux as default.

Steps to enable ports on VM:

1. Open Oracle VM
2. Right-click on default VM
3. Go to Settings and Select Network
4. Click on Advanced -> Port Forwarding
5. Click add icon and enter the ports
6. Enter 8042 and 4242 at both Host Port and Guest Port, leave other columns blank
