Hi everyone, I've been using Docker on Windows and have successfully set up Immich, which I can access from any device connected to my local network. However, I've encountered an issue with other apps I install. Unlike Immich, they only seem to be accessible from the server itself. I'm unsure what I've done wrong and what additional information I should provide to troubleshoot this. I even tried installing Pertained via Docker, but I still can't access any of my apps from other devices on the network. This issue is making self-hosting less enjoyable for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It sounds like your Docker containers on Windows might be running inside a Linux VM, which can limit network visibility. For your containers to be accessible from your home network, you'll likely need to make sure the necessary ports are open on your Windows host. Windows isn't always the best for running Docker like this; you might have a better experience on a native Linux host that can run Docker directly.
Can you give us more details about your Docker settings for the containers? If you have a way to share a redacted version of your Immich config, that would help too!
Thanks for your response! Where can I find the Immich config file? I'm a bit lost and couldn't find it in the Immich folder on my Windows.
