Minimal lighttpd configuration example which proxies all HTTP traffic on localhost:80 to localhost:3333. To run in a Docker container execute:

sudo docker run --rm -t -v "$(pwd)/lighttpd.conf:/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" -p 80:80 sebp/lighttpd

lighttpd.conf

server.modules = (
    "mod_proxy"
)

server.username      = "lighttpd"
server.groupname     = "lighttpd"
server.pid-file      = "/run/lighttpd.pid"
server.document-root = "/var/www"
server.errorlog      = "/dev/pts/0"

$HTTP["host"] =~ "localhost" {
    $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/.*" {
        proxy.server = ( "" =>
            ((
                "host" => "host.docker.internal",
                "port" => 3333
            ))
        )
    }
}
