ROS Master does not appear to be running.

edit

I run roscore, and the output is as follows:

root@ecorosdocker:~/src/f-ecoation-ros# roscore

ROS Master does not appear to be running.
Online graph checks will not be run.
ROS_MASTER_URI is [http://ecorosdocker:11311]

These are my ROS environment variables:

root@ecorosdocker:~# env | grep ROS
ROS_LOG_DIR=/mnt/log
ROSCONSOLE_FORMAT=[${severity}] [${node}] [${time}]: ${message}
ROS_ETC_DIR=/opt/ros/melodic/etc/ros
ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/melodic/share/ros
ROS_MASTER_URI=http://ecorosdocker:11311
ROS_VERSION=1
ROS_PYTHON_VERSION=2
ROS_IP=127.0.0.1
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/ros/melodic/share
ROSLISP_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES=
ROS_DISTRO=melodic

I guess I should ask a question: why can't I communicate with the master!? I'm running this in a docker container, which I am using as a test environment, and have a very very similar setup running on some hardware as a production environment, and it works just fine.
