Trying to debug C++ app remotely from Ubuntu 16.04 in Eclipse oxygen, compiled for x86_64 target, on a remote docker container that has a gdb server (also compiled for x86_64 target).
Running in priviliged mode.
The debug fails with an error message:

Error in final launch sequence
Failed to execute MI command:
-target-select remote localhost:32793
Error message from debugger back end:
localhost:32793: Connection timed out.
localhost:32793: Connection timed out.

the debug configuration snapshot is attached.

The scenario works when running the docker container on the same Ubuntu machine instead of on the remote machine.

In the eclipse docker view, I have added a docker connection for the remote machine and can see all the dockers/container on the remote machine, and also able to start/stop containers remotely.

I am accessing the Docker daemon remotely by enabling the tcp Socket.
