Specify HostIP in driver attributes - Waiting for SSH service on localhost:32769

[epcim]

I run the KitchenCI using kitchen-docker in the Docker container (Drone.io). I expose the Drone docker sock to the inner instance that kitchenCI use to spin it's own CI containers. It works, however once the container is build kitchen fails to connect the host on exported port.

[Host: Docker:
         [Drone.io],
         [ inner "build" container created by Drone, where  Kithen CI starts it's containers],
         [ kitchen containers]
]

on host:

root@drone:~# docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                   NAMES

in the innner container:

is there a configuration attribute that would allow to specify HostIP that kitchen should use to connect host? so instead of localhost use IP or hostname of the external host?

Obiously not:

https://github.com/portertech/kitchen-docker/blob/master/lib/kitchen/driver/docker.rb#L106

so can we make that 'localhost' an driver attribute?

What I'm doing to work around this issue is setting 'localhost' to the IP that actually has the port bound to it. For me the default gateway of my container is the IP of my docker host. So I'm doing something like:

# Fake 'localhost' to go back to docker host
sed -e '/localhost/d' /etc/hosts > /var/tmp/hosts.new
cp /var/tmp/hosts.new /etc/hosts
echo "$(ip route | grep default | awk '{print $3}') localhost" >> /etc/hosts

I've encountered the same issue when running build with a docker gitlab runner, any hint to solve this?
