Right now I just want to be able to run my web app on my phone and have it access my back-end service remotely.
I’m just having a challenge getting that "signal chain” set up and working. I know what it’s supposed to be in theory; it’s just not as easy as plugging a wire between a couple of sockets. Docker is optional. How can I do something like a "signal trace” in Windows? -David Schwartz > On Jun 13, 2023, at 2:19 PM, Michael Butash via PLUG-discuss > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Docker should be an inside to outside port mapping for your application.
