                @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 .
