Connecting to hbase instance from pyhon script using Docker

Question

I have a very simple python script using happyase connecting to a docker image of hbase

import happybase


def main():
    connection = happybase.Connection('hbase-docker', port=9090)
    print(connection.tables())


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

i have used this docker container to get hbase running

https://hub.docker.com/r/dajobe/hbase/

using

docker pull dajobe/hbase

and then

docker run dajobe/hbase

but still no connection

thriftpy2.transport.base.TTransportException: TTransportException(type=1, message="Could not connect to ('hbase-docker', 9090)")

I have tried with different ports, but nothing seems to work..

I used Docker ps to verify, that the container is running.
