Sohaib Msalha:
@Simon

  1. This browser in the docker host machine, or in your own device?
  2. Are you sure the container was running when you tried to access the web portal?
#5

Simon:
I don’t know the difference between docker host machine and my device. That’s why I asked a question.

#6

Sohaib Msalha:
Are using VM to practice docker?
or you using the docker desktop app?

#7

Simon:
I am using WSL and docker desktop

#8

Sohaib Msalha:
In this case the docker host is your machine, and the portal should be accessible here

Let’s give it a try,

run the needed container on detached mode and then hit the following command :

docker inspect <container_id> | grep -i ipaddress
