Connect to IOC in container from another host in different network, via CA Gateway

["Gonzalez, Jose Carlos via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi!

I have a Docker compose configuration file to launch some containers: an IOC, the CA EPICS Gateway and CSS/Phoebus. They are working in a local subnet 127.20.0.0 in my machine A, with has a certain IP a.b.c.d.

I want to configure the CA Gateway so that I can get access to the PVs of the IOC from a separate machine B, that is in a different network, w.x.y.z. In fact, I try to run CSS/Phoebus in a container in this other machine B. I looked for information to do such thing, and tested several configurations, but without success.

I'm sure I'm not the first one trying to do this, so can anybody share some information about how this configuration can be set? I mean, something that has been proven to work, because I tried several things that were supposed to work, but I could not yet make it run.

Thanks in advance!
