On Mac and Windows it is possible to use docker.for.mac.host.internal (replaces docker.for.mac.localhost) and docker.for.win.host.internal (replaces docker.for.win.localhost) host.docker.internal (Docker 18.03+) inside container.

Is there one for Linux that will work out of the box without passing env variables or extracting it using various CLI commands?

Depends what you're trying to do. If you're running with --net=host, localhost should work fine. If you're using default networking, use the static IP 172.17.0.1. I suspect neither will behave quite the same as those domains.
