Is it possible to access docker containers using theirs private ip?

[joaoeduardo]

For example, running a nginx container with the command below:

~ docker run -p 8080:80 nginx

Then get the container IP with the following command:

~ docker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' container_name
172.17.0.2

Is it possible to use this address to access the web page? Is there some config that make it possible?

Thanks!

Edit: I forgot to mention that I used the example docker.yaml.
