Answer 1

You need to make your REST server available on an IP or domain resolvable hostname ie on an available network interface such that other REST clients can consume it.

Its likely your REST server (accessed through Explorer) is already listening on 0.0.0.0:3000 and hence listening on all configured interfaces (on your server). For REST server deployment more info here -> https://hyperledger.github.io/composer/integrating/deploying-the-rest-server.html

the parameter in your COMPOSER_DATASOURCES to change (if you need to change it) is here (straight out of loopback basically):

 COMPOSER_DATASOURCES='{
  "db": {
    "name": "db",
    "connector": "mongodb",
    "host": "mongo",
    "ip": "10.99.98.x"
  }
}'
