[HELP] - Getting Access Denied when running on Docker

[oarkflow]

Hi all,

I've used following bash script for running backend on docker (OrbStack on MacOS). The server is successfully running.

[INFO] Starting osrm-routed in detached mode...
85a0a40ebeede43b24074704c03951317260e13aeb7c74920ba89e7dab7ee457
[INFO] Done! OSRM server is running as 'osrm-server' on port 5000.
[INFO] Use 'docker logs osrm-server' to view logs, and 'docker stop osrm-server' to shut it down.

but when trying to access the backend using

http://127.0.0.1:5000/route/v1/driving/85.33982762579778,27.702274763231824;85.3235,27.7165?geometries=polyline&overview=full&steps=true

Getting following error.

Access to 127.0.0.1 was denied
You don't have authorization to view this page.
HTTP ERROR 403

The weird part is OrbStack provides URL https://osrm-server.orb.local/ which works.

The bash script I used.

I've tried localhost, 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 but still didn't work.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could suggest why the issue happening?
