EXPOSE <port> [<port>...]
The `EXPOSE` instructions informs Docker that the container will listen on the
specified network ports at runtime. Docker uses this information to interconnect
containers using links (see the [Docker User
Guide](../userguide/dockerlinks.md) and to determine which ports to expose to the
host when [using the -P flag](run.md#expose-incoming-ports).
The `EXPOSE` instruction informs Docker that the container listens on the
specified network ports at runtime. `EXPOSE` does not make the ports of the
container accessible to the host. To do that, you must use either the `-p` flag
to publish a range of ports or the `-P` flag to publish all of the exposed ports.
You can expose one port number and publish it externally under another number.

Docker uses exposed and published ports to interconnect containers using links
(see [Linking containers together](../userguide/dockerlinks.md))
and to set up port redirection on the host system when [using the -P flag](run.md#expose-incoming-ports).
