deploy running docker in external IP (VM host) - docker

Question

My API couldn't be published on the specific ip address (VM host) when using docker
First, I run the file in terminal :
Rscript run.R
This works fine, my api is up and running on the ip address http://35.157.131.3:8000/swagger/ . After which, I would like to deploy it with docker:
docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 --expose 8000 -d --name diemdiem trestletech/plumber
This showed the file was plumbed successfully, however, when i went to the api link, http://35.157.131.3:8000/swagger/ showed 404-error.
After reading docker documentations, i created a container network which specifies the host ip address that i want the docker container would run on:
-o "com.docker.network.bridge.host_binding_ipv4"="35.157.131.3" \
simple-network````
then, i connect the running diemdiem container to simple-network:
``` docker network connect simple-network diemdiem```
I inspect to see whether the container is connected or not:
```docker network inspect simple-network```
The result is:
[

}
},

]
The final API is still not up and running in the ip address which i specified. I appreciate your advice.
