This site can't be reached docs/docker.github.io

I ran 

docker run -p 4000:4000 docs/docker.github.io

and the output shows

Docker docs are viewable at:
http://0.0.0.0:4000

however when I go to this address I get an error

 This site can’t be reached

 The web page at http://0.0.0.0:4000/ might be temporarily down or it may 
 have moved permanently to a new web address.

What I found using Docker for Windows is that the references to localhost or 0.0.0.0 didn't work at all when I tried to access the application in the browser. It's using Docker Quickstart Terminal which runs a Linux image on Windows and it runs Docker inside that

This command provides the IP address of the Linux image

docker-machine ip

When I use that address on my Windows browser it works fine, for example:

http://192.168.99.100:4999/

0.0.0.0 is a listener address that indicates all network interfaces on a machine, you don't connect to this address because it doesn't exist. Instead, you need to connect your browser to the IP address or name of the docker host. If you're running this locally, without docker-machine, that would be http://127.0.0.1:4000. With docker-machine, you can get the IP of the VM from the docker-machine ip output.
