Connect to local application from Docker container - docker

Question

I have running in my local Windows an ActiveMQ service:
netstat -an|find "61613"
TCP 0.0.0.0:61613 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 127.0.0.1:58179 127.0.0.1:61613 ESTABLISHED
TCP 127.0.0.1:58236 127.0.0.1:61613 ESTABLISHED
TCP 127.0.0.1:61613 127.0.0.1:58179 ESTABLISHED
TCP 127.0.0.1:61613 127.0.0.1:58236 ESTABLISHED
TCP [::]:61613 [::]:0 LISTENING
And I have a Docker container built from a Dockerfile that tries to connect to it with the Python code:
import stomp
conn = stomp.Connection12([('host.docker.internal', 61613)])
conn.connect('admin', 'admin', wait=True)
This Python code works fine if I run it in my computer, but from Docker I get the error:
Could not connect to host host.docker.internal, port 61613
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/stomp/transport.py", line 734, in attempt_connection
self.socket = get_socket(host_and_port[0], host_and_port[1], self.__timeout)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/stomp/backwardsock26.py", line 16, in get_socket

raise err
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/socket.py", line 832, in create_connection
sock.connect(sa)
TimeoutError: [Errno 110] Connection timed out
If I enter into the Docker container and run ping host.docker.internal, it works:
root#ab397fb7a8ae:/# ping host.docker.internal

However, if I try to ping the specific port, it doesn't work:
root#ab397fb7a8ae:/# nc -vv host.docker.internal 61613
nc: connect to host.docker.internal (192.168.1.66) port 61613 (tcp) failed: Connection timed out
I have tried adding this line to the Dockerfile
EXPOSE 61613
And connecting to the port 0 like
conn = stomp.Connection12([('host.docker.internal', 0)])
but it still doesnt work.
How can I solve this?
I have read the following questions, but I didn't find the solution in any of them:
How does the docker container connect to a port on the host?
Bind container port to host inside Dockerfile
From inside of a Docker container, how do I connect to the localhost of the machine?
