MacOS + Docker + VM Ware

I had a bit of a headache with this one.

The goal was to be able to run Ansible in a Docker container, that would provision and interface with a VM Ware guest.

The issue I ran into, on two different Mac’s running Sequoia was that none of the containers were able to access the guest.

I admit it took waaaay to long to figure out how to fix this issue, but, I’m not a MacOS user.

The solution was to enable local network sharing for Docker in System settings -> Privacy & Security -> Local Network -> Docker.
