I have windows server 2012r2.I wanted to install ODK-X Sync Endpoint locally which required installation of docker in swam mode. I was not successfully installing docker in swam mode in this environment so I opted for installing oracle virtual machine then in that environment I installed ubuntu 18.04.Inside ubuntu 18.04 I was able to install docker in swam mode and installed the endpoint sync.I am able to create users and assign them group using 127.0.0.1:40000 but I cant access the webui using  
[http://172.17.0.1/web-ui/login](http://172.17.0.1/web-ui/login)  
1.How can I access the webui  
2.How to I make my endpoint publicly accessible

Any help on how to get about this will highly appreciated  
Many thanks

When you ran the install script it gives you a choice of HTTPS or HTTP. If you selected HTTPS then [http://172.17.0.1/web-ui/login](http://172.17.0.1/web-ui/login) will not work as it’s limited to HTTPS.
