Remote Connections about windows

I installed this as soon as I saw this in the app store. I added the password in windows and all works. cheers

The 20.20.20.21 is just an internal dummy IP for bridging. All the traffic to the container IP is tunneled to this IP.

So you must not connect to 20.20.20.21 with RDP, but to the IP of the docker machine instead.

Also in your compose file you need to open the ports:

ports:
  - 8006:8006
  - 3389:3389/tcp
  - 3389:3389/udp

Then it should work.

It is also possible to give the Windows VM a real IP in the 192.168.x.x range instead of using the NAT tunnel, but it is more difficult to setup. See https://github.com/qemus/qemu-docker#how-do-i-assign-an-individual-ip-address-to-the-container for the steps on how to do it.

Great to have Windows in a docker so thanks very much. I am using RDP to gain access but as Windows has no password set I receive the message "user account restriction..." message. Is there any way to set a password to the Docker account?

I set a registry setting during the automatic install to allow RDP for users without password.

So did you do a manual install? If not, when did you install this machine? Because I added that a few days ago.

In any case you can always go in the web-viewer (port 8006), change the password for the Docker user, and use RDP after that.
