Hello!

I have an Ubuntu distro running on WSL2 with Mirrored Networking enabled, so the virtual machine and the host share IP and adapter. Inside the distro, I have Docker installed with several services running, listening on different ports. I can correctly access the services running directly on the virtual machine (e.g., SSH on port 22) using localhost:22.

My problem is that I cannot access the Docker container services from the host using the local IP (127.0.0.1, localhost, 192.168.0.9). The strange thing is that I can access them through my public IP over the Internet.

Diagram:

|__Service 1 (Only accessible from 10.20.30.40:80)
|__Service 2 (Only accessible from 10.20.30.40:443)

I have already done several tests, reinstalling various different distros and consulting the documentation, but I couldn’t find the solution. Thank you very much.

Here is my .wslconfig config:

[wsl2]
kernelCommandLine=ipv6.disable=1

[experimental]
networkingMode=mirrored
hostAddressLoopback=True
