Unable to add Homebridge to Home App

Describe Your Problem:

I’m not able to add my Homebridge bridge to the Home app. I’ve checked the FAQs and troubleshooting but that hasn’t resolved my issue.

I’ve configured the Homebridge and plugin and confirmed that the accessory works as expected (turns on and off). Homebridge is running on a Pi V3, connected via ethernet. I’m attempting to add to the Home app on the same network (via wifi) but not able to do so. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Traced the issue back to the HAP-NodeJS library:

  HAP-NodeJS:EventedHTTPServer New connection from client at interface eth0 +18s
  HAP-NodeJS:EventedHTTPServer HTTP server listening on port 44827 +2ms
  HAP-NodeJS:EventedHTTPServer HTTP connection error:  getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN localhost +5s
  HAP-NodeJS:EventedHTTPServer HTTP connection was closed +1ms
  HAP-NodeJS:EventedHTTPServer HTTP server was closed +3ms
  HAP-NodeJS:EventedHTTPServer Client connection closed +3ms

For some reason the docker container is unable to resolve localhost, thus the pairing fails. If localhost is added into the /etc/hosts file, pairing succeeds.
