Hasura action handler does not exist (Name or service not known) - docker

Question

I have an instance of Hasura running in the Docker container and action handler API written in NodeJS/Express running directly on the machine.
When I test everything locally it works like a charm ( macOS M1 ), but when I replicate the same setup on the server ( Ubuntu 20.04 ) it returns an action handler does not exist error.
All other queries and mutations work well, just actions return this error
You can see that both Hasura and NodeJS apps are running
hasura docker container
localhost api call
In local development my action handler base url is
http://host.docker.internal:5000/api
and it is working fine.
I have also tried
http://localhost:5000/api
http://127.0.0.1:5000/api
This is the exact error Hasura action call returns
{

"extensions": {
"internal": {
"error": {
"type": "http_exception",

},

}

If someone encounters the same issue this is how I solved it
Add this to docker-compose.yml file
extra_hosts:
- "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"
Allow ports 8080 and 5000 in firewall
sudo ufw allow 8080
sudo ufw allow 5000
