After trying out Cosmos Cloud (and it not working for the clients), I’m back at square one again. I was going to install Docker Desktop, but I see it warns that it runs on a VM. Will this be a problem when trying to remote connect to certain services, like Mealie or Jellyfin?
Maybe OP does not want to spend time to learn something that only has one use case for them. Maybe OP has external factors that forces the use of Docker Desktop.
Be nicer.
