Wasi-Browser: Access exposed ports [Question]

[pierreavn]

Thanks again for this great project!
I'm trying to convert a web server container into wasm then run it in browser with wasi-browser. The container is exposing an http port, but unfortunately I am not able access it.

I've tried to add ˋEXPOSEˋ rule in Dockerfile, and to use port socket binding and port mapping in c2w-net to host port. Looking for GVisor networking, logs tell that connection is refused.

Do you have any idea or configuration to access exposed port, from c2w-net port mapping or directly from JS?

Thanks!

This looks like VM mac address and/or the one registered to c2w-net don't match.

If you can see the VM's mac address (currently it's assigned a random value), you need to pass that mac address to c2w-net via -mac flag.
Or, you can patch worker.js to simply disable the random assigning of the mac address.
