Following steps were done on Windows Docker Quick Start installation.
Run a network service in a new port (which was not exposed during starting of the docker container)
docker exec -it container_name /bin/bash
nohup python -m http.server 8000 &
exit
Expose the port using iptables in the docker host.
docker-machine ssh
sudo iptables -t nat -A DOCKER -p tcp --dport 8001 -j DNAT --to-destination $(docker inspect -f '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' container_name):8000
exit
Test the connection to the newly exposed port from your local machine.
(I used 192.168.99.100 because I was testing this on Docker Quick Start installation on Windows machine)
curl -s http://192.168.99.100:8001/
