Not able to connect to fabio UI ... I wonder if I miss any specifics ?.

Here is how I started the fabio

Without UI address
$sudo docker run -d -p 9999:9999 -p 9998:9998 --name=fabio -e 'registry_consul_addr=10.193.6.129:8500' magiconair/fabio

With UI address , I see a FATAL error
sudo docker run -d -p 9999:9999 -p 9998:9998 --name=fabio -e 'ui_dir=10.193.6.129' -e 'registry_consul_addr=10.193.6.129:8500' magiconair/fabio

ubuntu1@ubuntu1:$ sudo docker ps -a

Again, I'm no Docker expert and I suggest you look at the Docker compose setup referenced by @raben2 in #223. However, the following steps work for me:

# start consul in a container and note the IP address it is using
# in my case 172.17.0.2
docker run -e 'CONSUL_BIND_INTERFACE=eth0' consul

# start fabio and expose the ports
docker run -p 9999:9999 -p 9998:9998 -e 'registry_consul_addr=172.17.0.2:8500' magiconair/fabio

# query proxy interface

Going to close this since you seem to create new issues for different questions - which is fine.
