The EXPOSE instruction informs Docker that the container listens on the specified network ports at runtime. You can specify whether the port listens on TCP or UDP, and the default is TCP if the protocol is not specified. The EXPOSE instruction does not actually publish the port. . To publish the port when running the container, use the -p flag on docker run to publish and map one or more ports, or the -P flag to publish all exposed ports and map them to high-order ports.

eg: docker run -d -p 2181:2181 <image>

EXPOSE is just a metadata added to the image (as noted in "Docker ports are not exposed").
It does not actually publish the port.

You need to make sure you docker run the image with -p option, in order to actually publish the container port to an host port.

-p=[]

Publish a container᾿s port or a range of ports to the host
format: ip:hostPort:containerPort | ip::containerPort | hostPort:containerPort | containerPort
