After trying out Cosmos Cloud (and it not working for the clients), I’m back at square one again. I was going to install Docker Desktop, but I see it warns that it runs on a VM. Will this be a problem when trying to remote connect to certain services, like Mealie or Jellyfin?

    Just throw your services in a docker-compose.yml file, create a docker bridge network, and assign the:

    networks:
    - YourDockerNetwork

    To the services in the yaml file, specify the ports it want’s to open with

    ports:
    - 8080:8080

    And let it start up. If you want to get more complicated suggest reading the man page which really isn’t that long of a read.

    Networking really cannot be simplified, you have to view it in a logistical way of how is Point A communicating with Point B which where Docker bridge networks come into play, they make the communication easy, if all your containers are all on the same docker network all you have to do is specify http://ContainerName:Port for them to communicate back and forth internally.
