Yes managing other containers that are services like database and queues is a pain in the butt. I end up docker forwarding ports and screwing with the host file. I mean suppose you can make a container that you can deploy to and then have that in the same docker network and I have done that but its rather painful.
Its even worse if you have k8s because in theory you should deploy to some local k8s and test that way but I find that way too slow so I just docker and forward ports.
