If you use macvlan you cannot connect to localhost, but you must do it to 192.168.0.150 instead.

So try http://192.168.0.150:8006

With macvlan you cannot reach that IP from the host (this is described in the FAQ, and also a solution is given). Normally this is not a problem, because people run the container on their server, and access the IP from their desktop/laptop. But from the screenshots it looks like you are running the browser on the same machine where the docker is running.

So go to http://192.168.0.150:8006/ from another machine in your network (your mobile phone for example) and confirm it works. After that you can apply the workaround as described in the FAQ to also make it work from the same machine, but its a little bit complicated.

I dont even understand why you enabled macvlan in the first place, because if you only need access from the same machine, then macvlan has no real advantage over the default bridge networking with localhost.
