Michael, Ian, thank you for your answers.

Looks like my problem was with the container name. I tried bunch of
different setups which didn't work and I discovered that when I'm using "-"
in container name it doesn't work (I had impression that worked one or two
times when I started machine from scratch, but most of the time didn't).

After I removed "-" from the name, looks like private network is working (I
can access private IP of container) so I don't need NAT actually.
