How to open port for docker container?

I have a database on production (real os). And have docker-container with webserver and cgi (running on the same server).

And I cant get access to production database from container. How to open port (for example 3306) and make it visible in container? Thank you.

One of the ways is to pass the host machine's IP address to the container using the following approach:

docker run --add-host dockerhost:`/sbin/ip route|awk '/default/ { print  $3}'` [my container]

This will add a host with the name dockerhost to your container. You can then access the database running on the host via dockerhost:3306
