[zeromq-dev] Connection refused error exclusively in Dockerized app

[Kenneth Adam Miller]

I found out that doing a socket connection on an inproc that hasn't been
bound to yet before is what is causing the error. Strange thing is, in
docker this fails with an exception. On my host, it works fine.

Does anybody know what the best path forward would be? I basically have a
subscriber being launched before the publisher, just as the missed message
debugger says I should. Those subscribers make connect calls, but the
publisher makes a bind. Every thing works as required on the host. But in
docker, it blows up at the connect line.
What do I do to get it to work?
