I am new to Docker Desktop, and on my network I need to run it on Windows.
I am having trouble with several Docker containers in that I can’t figure out how to access the port that allows me access to the GUI. Both of these containers are for relatively well-known LAN monitoring programs (WatchYourLAN and Pi.Alert). They both seem to be running fine in Docker, but I just can’t figure out how to access the right port location from my browser.
I spent most of an afternoon looking at forums, and I saw several similar issues but no applicable solution. I have seen the following:
Some people have suggested that on Windows there is a “hidden virtual machine” that should be used in the address of the port URL (possibly 192.168.100.99), but I can see nothing like this on my system
Others have suggested running NETSTAT to inspect for the solution. This yielded nothing.
There’s nothing suspicious in either log file, and in the INSPECT most of the network information is blank, particularly the IPV4 information. Some have suggested using the IP address of the container itself, this does not seem to work.
Finally, I tried to use -p to bind the port, but this was not successful either (and it was not part of the instructions for either program).
Can anyone help me understand why I can’t find the right URL to access these applications?
If it helps with the diagnosis, this is what one of the Docker Run commands looks like:
docker run --name WatchYourLan ^
-e “IFACE=ethernet” ^
-e “TZ=America/New_York” ^
–network=“host” ^
-v “d:/users/xx/onedrive/documents/aaa miscellaneous/docker/wyl:/data” ^
