Forward port 8000/sessions

[HannoSpreeuw]

From bash within the Docker container one can enter
lynx localhost:8000/sessions
and you will see a web page.
lynx localhost:8000
will show a 404.

I am not able to forward 8000/sessions to outside the container by the simple
EXPOSE 8000 in the Dockerfile and the
-p 8000:8000 in the Docker run command.

fair warning, I don't really understand any of this stuff but here goes with a few options:

1. configure whatever is running to output under / instead of /sessions
2. automatically redirect from / to /sessions
3. use a (reverse?) proxy server, e.g. nginx. with a similar setup as I used here: https://github.com/research-software-directory/research-software-directory/blob/c239c16f67d2eb6069bf3c81923a3098cf06c3f4/config/nginx_proxy/nginx.conf#L28-L30 (you would only need that location and none of the others btw; also, replace graphs with sessions)
4. default fallback: ask @sverhoeven or @Tommos0...

Thanks. I Googled a little more, because I think this should be dead simple. I.e. a one step solution should suffice.

I don't like the preferred solution from this SO link, i.e. the one from icecrime, because it seems complicated.

But I like the solution by Vasspilka much better because it seems simpler.
Still have to test it, though.

But I am having a hard time understanding Vasspilka's explanation.

I do understand the preferred answer from this SO link:

If you want to make a Unix domain socket available outside of your container, you will need to mount a host directory inside the container and then place the socket there.
