Docker will abort trying to restart the container. Providing a maximum
restart limit is only valid for the ** on-failure ** policy.
### Adding entries to a container hosts file
You can add other hosts into a container's `/etc/hosts` file by using one or more
`--add-host` flags. This example adds a static address for a host named `docker`:
```
$ docker run --add-host=docker:10.180.0.1 --rm -it debian
$$ ping docker
PING docker (10.180.0.1): 48 data bytes
56 bytes from 10.180.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=7.600 ms
56 bytes from 10.180.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=30.705 ms
^C--- docker ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 7.600/19.152/30.705/11.553 ms
```
> **Note:**
> Sometimes you need to connect to the Docker host, which means getting the IP
> address of the host. You can use the following shell commands to simplify this

> $ docker run --add-host=docker:$(hostip) --rm -it debian
