PSA: Running Channels DVR in Docker Desktop for Mac/Windows/Linux using HOST network mode

How many users are aware this has been possible since Docker Desktop v4.34.0 (2024-08-29)

Devs may want to add a note to these;

  • Neither Docker for Mac nor Docker for Windows support --net=host. When running on these platforms, you'll have to connect to Channels DVR Server by IP address from Channels. You can do this in the Settings tab of the Channels Apps.

NOTE: I don't use these Docker for Desktop apps, just providing the information to let you know you have a choice. I've been able to use host networking mode on my Synology NAS's.
