> The host given out to clients to connect to a Remote Process Group Input Port is the host where the NiFi instance runs. However, sometimes the binding host is different from the host that clients connect to. For example, when a NiFi instance runs inside a Docker container, a client on a separate machine must connect to the Docker host which forwards the connection to the container.
> Kafka addresses this situation by allowing a broker to configure the host name given out to producers, consumers, and other brokers to connect to. Implement something similar in NiFi. Add a configuration property to specify the host name to give out to clients to connect to a Remote Process Group Input Port. If the property is not configured, then give out the name of host running the NiFi instance.
