Prefect Community

Hello all, I am using prefect docker agent, for the flow run containers I need to expose some ports, how can I do this ? e.g `-p 12001:12001`

I guess that would be the best bet. Since the Docker syntax is like:
```client.api.create_host_config(port_bindings={
    12001:12001
})```
In Prefect it would be like:
```DockerRun(...,host_config={"port_bindings" = {12001:12001}})```

<@U01QEJ9PP53> I am doing the following
```# flow run time configuration
f.run_config = DockerRun(
    labels=["dt4dev_osdataproc"],
    image="<http://gitlab-registry.internal.sanger.ac.uk/pam-dt4/spark-service/spark-service-docker/spark-app:v0.3|gitlab-registry.internal.sanger.ac.uk/pam-dt4/spark-service/spark-service-docker/spark-app:v0.3>",
    host_config={"port_bindings":{12001:12001}},
    env={"rpc_port": "12001","bm_port": "12101"}
)```
when I execute the flow I don't see the port mapping on docker ps
```root@dt4-prefect:~/prefect# docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                                                                             COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS                 PORTS                            NAMES

Ok I’m not confident this is exposed now. The example <https://docker-py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#docker.api.container.ContainerApiMixin.create_host_config|here> says it can be done without supplying the ports though. (check under port bindings). But in Prefect, the `ports` kwarg is not exposed. If what you tried doesn’t work, I think we need to open an issue
```client.api.create_container(
    'busybox', 'ls', ports=[1111, 2222],
    host_config=client.api.create_host_config(port_bindings={
        1111: 4567,
        2222: None
    })
)```

ok, thank you, let me see if I use host networking in the meantime like this `host_config={"network_mode":"host"},` this should make all the ports reachable ?
