Additional Information

I did the same with Docker Desktop I get following listening ports, With Rancher Desktop I get following listening ports, I believe port mapping is not done properly. You can argue that spinning up a simple nginxdemos container do work in the browser. Every browser based lookup works but not outside a browser.

Workaround: Disabling IPv6 on all net adapters works, but it takes some time to connect as it was doing a round trip of lookups and falls back on 127.0.0.1. If I use 127.0.0.1 directly it connects very fast.

[wiruzman]

I created a dotnet project that can detect ports created by docker with RD in WSL and bind ANY ip. localhost will work after the bind.
