              @kusselin remember, a container is a ‘system’
              with its own IP address different than than the container hosting system (typically 172.xx.yy.zz)

              also, localhost means ONLY apps INSIDE this same ‘system’, can access… so that means a browser running IN the container… oops… not possible

              SO, you have to change the MM config.js to allow apps OUTSIDE the container to access the MM app
              and THEN on the container setup , map the container MM port to some host port … (so u can access from another pc, phone, tablet, outside the container hosting system )

              address:“0.0.0.0”.
              ipWhitelist:[],

              you didn’t have to reinstall mm… one install runs three ways
              full (ui on same ‘system’), npm start
              server (ui on some OTHER system (have to change config) npm run server
              client (just the UI part), npm run client

                  @kusselin yes, to help keep this organized for you

                  think of a container as a pi/nuc/laptop/extra machine with no display, running in text mode
                  and the only way to get to it is thru a proxy machine (your container host)

                  and then some other machine, laptop, phone, tablet that wants to display info…

                  so other machine, phone, tablet connects to proxy, who forwards request to pi, and returns response back.
                  the proxy doesnt DO anything but transport the info .

                      one question: Where can i change the position from horizontal to vertical?

                      In what config can i change that?

                        @kusselin well that becomes much more troublesome…

                        the container doesn’t have display, so u can’t force it there
                        also, server mode doesn’t know orientation of display system .

                        so this would typically be done on system w browser. full system in portrait or landscape.

                        I don’t know how you would do it just for one browser/tab…
