Research direction

Inspect the endpoint definitions used by the /orders route and find references to docker.for.windows.localhost. Replace the obsolete Docker hostname with host.docker.internal, then verify that the /orders endpoint can browse the database content on Windows 10 with Docker for Windows.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Working on Windows 10 I am unable to browse content of database with http://127.0.0.1:3000/orders endpoint due to docker-related networking issues. This is due to endpoints being defined with hostname docker.for.windows.localhost which is no longer domain name used by docker during Docker for Windows installation. Recommended is to use host.docker.internal. This change fixes the issue and provides excellent out-of-the-box experience for fresh install of docker for windows.
