I've been running into some issues with my Docker containers using Portainer on Windows 11 Pro with WSL2. I installed a container for qBittorrent and set it to use the port mapping 8080:8080, which works fine. However, when I went to install SABnzbd, I changed its ports to 8085:8080 since it also defaults to 8080. The problem is that when I try to open SABnzbd, it still opens qBittorrent instead. I've even renamed the containers and apps, but I keep facing the same issue with any second instance I try to run. Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

It's possible your port mapping isn't set up correctly. Double-check the IP and the port forwarding settings. If you're trying to access it from the host machine, make sure that's configured in Docker Desktop as it can lead to unexpected results. For a smoother experience, consider using a standalone VM with Debian and Docker instead of Docker Desktop.
It looks like there might be some confusion with how you're accessing the containers. Make sure you're opening SABnzbd through the correct URL after changing the port, like http://localhost:8085. Sometimes, if you're using a browser, it might cache the previous address.
Thanks! I was using the standard URL and didn't realize the port change would affect it.
