Hello, I'm trying to set up Docker with Ubuntu in WSL to run both a Rustdesk RDP server and a Crafty Controller for Minecraft. I plan to deploy this in AWS later. The main issue is that I can't reach the Crafty Controller web interface or connect to my computers remotely. I've switched my WSL network to Mirrored and enabled host resources, but it's still not working. I also tested without antivirus, but nothing changed. Need some guidance, thanks!

No, I haven't mapped the container ports to the machine's ports yet.

It seems your setup has become more complicated than necessary. Running Linux on Windows and installing Docker isn't typical and can be quite challenging. I recommend trying an alternative approach. You could use Docker Desktop for Windows, install Ubuntu via a virtual machine, then connect using the VM's IP address. Usually, Portainer CE helps manage Docker and customize settings effectively. Good luck!

I need to look into this first. What exactly are you trying to do?

This will be the approach I take when setting up deployment for Rustdesk and Crafty on AWS, keeping it straightforward.

You're dealing with a complex setup involving Ubuntu and Windows. The networking challenge lies in connecting both systems, which requires adjusting both platforms. A more straightforward approach is to run a virtual machine with Ubuntu, allowing you to manage the same configuration as in WSL. This method simplifies things since you don't need to resolve cross-platform networking issues yourself. If you proceed this way, just be confident and good luck!

I'm setting up my containers with either `docker run` commands or by managing them through a docker-compose.yaml configuration.
