How do you know what the "Galaxy instance IP" address will be before you have created the container or run the Docker Galaxy instance?

I would think 127.0.0.1 would always work.

Right but that is the self-referential IP address. I have another Galaxy Docker started by another user which is accessible at an IP address such as 172.17.0.1; not sure how they got that, but it shows up under ifconfig, I thought this was the IP which was meant to be used here? Or, a web-accessible IP (which I don't have)?

It's just a matter of whether you want to use it inside the container or not.

I thought the point of the file was to set up tools that will be included when the container is started? Not sure what you mean.

Steve you need to distinguish between runtime and build-time of a container. Tools in a flavor are installed during build-time. If I understand you correctly you want to install tools during run time. So you need to have a running container. So now you want to run the install script to install all tools from your yaml file, to do this you more or less have two options, run this script from inside the container ... or from outside of the container. Depending on this you need to change the IP address. This needs to be always the Galaxy instance. In your container this is 127.0.0.1 as Devon already said.
