WSL and docker (lemmy.ml)

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to get WSL and docker to work together. They kinda do at the moment, I installed an image of HomeAssistant but I noticed that I can't connect to it from Windows.

I've used the virtual adapter IP, localhost, 127.0.0.1 but nothing let's me get through it.

I did install debian instead of the default Ubuntu on windows since I've used debian before so I thought why not, and I'm wondering if that's what messed it up. After a quick Google search I found some people with the same issue but apparently this should've been fixed in newer Windows Updates (I think it was fixed back in 2020~2021).

Also, I just want to use WSL because it's easier from Windows imo but mostly just to test things :) I didn't even have anything to put on HAI just testing stuff really.

Edit: someone pointed out that I should use the HA app on windows. That's exactly what I am doing. Sorry if that isn't clear.

Windows 11 WSL enabled Docker Windows app installed.

If you install docker desktop, it uses WSL by default. Might be easier than configuring everything manually.

Oh I might've not been clear, that's what I did.

Using the windows app I then installed the HA image, it appears to be working correctly, no errors anywhere. But I just can't seem to be able to connect to it.

what IP is the service listening on? is that port exposed?

0.0.0.0 for all incoming.

That's a great question... But I have no clue if its exposed or not. The thing is, apparently they fixed it in a way that it should, in theory, work out of the box.

HomeAssistant should be running on 8123 if I'm not mistaken.

I've tried [virtual adapter]:8123 (not at my PC atm, don't know the op by heart sry) localhost:8123 and 127.0.0.1:8123
