Hi Serge

Thanks very much for your email.

Going through the steps above showed me I had a firewall problem. Dropping the
firewall allowed the container to hit the internet. Apologies for this beginner
problem.

I'd be grateful to know if anyone has some firewall (iptables) advice for
allowing traffic to the container? I expect to run another firewall on the
container itself.

Regards
Rory
