+- Docker's host networking feature is not supported on Mac, even though the `docker run` command doesn't complain about it.<br/>
+  This is due to the fact that the Docker daemon on Mac is running in a virtual machine, and not natively; hence, ports are exposed on the VM and not of the host running it.<br/>
+  One way around it is port forwarding to localhost (the `-p` or `-P` options).
