I'm currently using Docker Desktop version 4.66.1 on macOS 14.5, and I'm still learning how to work with GitHub and Docker. I've run into a strange issue: while I can download images and run containers using Docker Desktop just fine, I frequently can't access those instances through a web browser. However, when I create a docker-compose.yaml file for my projects and run it in the Terminal, everything shows up in Docker Desktop and I can access the instances without any problems. For example, when I tried running the library apps Jemu and Ryot through Docker Desktop, they appeared green and active, but I couldn't access their web interfaces. After removing and reinstalling them via the Terminal, they worked perfectly. It seems like I might be missing something fundamental about using Docker Desktop. I'd appreciate any insights or support! Thanks in advance!

You might want to check some YouTube tutorials! There are tons of free resources that can help. Also, make sure your containers are actually listening on the right ports. That can be a common oversight when working with Docker.
Could you recommend specific channels or videos? I’m looking for some guidance since I can get things running fine in Terminal, but I feel like I’m missing key details about how to operate Docker Desktop.
