Hi all!

I’ve had Nextcloud installed on Docker and it has been working for a while until now.

I had to change my server from wifi to Ethernet and gave it a new static IP. I also uninstalled docker and reinstalled it so I’d be starting fresh.

I have Nextcloud working and when I go to localhost:8070, Nextcloud works properly. When I use another device connected to the same network by wifi, it doesn’t work.

I made sure the config.php file has the server’s static IP address listed in the trusted domains category.

This used to work before but now after hours of troubleshooting, I’m all out of ideas and frustrated 😩 Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: My wife to stroll by and casually was all “did you check Windows Firewall?” and lo and behold, Windows Firewall chose today to block private connections on Docker Desktop backend -_-

Once I enabled it everything worked perfectly. Leaving this up here in case someone else stumbles upon this exact issue.

    Some wireless access points / routers restrict access to Lan devices by default. You should be able to change this.

    It’s also possible you have your wireless access point set up incorrectly if it isn’t your main router. Is your wifi devices on a different subnet? Is the WAP running a dhcp server? Did you plug your Lan cable into the wan port on it instead of one of switching ports?

    If you can ping the server from a wifi device then it’s a server configuration issue. Is your NC instance binding to local host or the static ip? 0.0.0.0 would work too.
