trying to connect to a docker container in the pipeline

[daudt]

I'm running a pipeline that requires a docker container where I need to override the docker entrypoint. I've tested this locally and it works fine, but doesn't seem to work in the pipeline:

image: python:3.6

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        caches:
          - docker
        script:
          - docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name dynamodb --entrypoint java amazon/dynamodb-local -jar DynamoDBLocal.jar -sharedDb -inMemory
          - curl http://localhost:8000
        services:
          - docker

curl http://localhost:8000 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer 

I've tried with both localhost and dynamodb in the curl request. Is that port restricted? Why doesn't this work?
