So I'm slowly using my mind or I am misunderstanding something central to Linux networking. I have successfully set up Meshnet and can ping my laptop from my phone, and vice-versa. There are also a handful of services, e.g. Plex, which are accessible on the laptop from my phone.

I am trying to use Meshnet in developing a mobile app where it connects to my laptop as the backend/build service. I can normally do this over trusted WiFi over the LAN, no problem. But when I run commands such as

docker run -p 0.0.0.0:8080:80 -ti --rm nginx:mainline

On the laptop, I cannot for the life of me connect over Meshnet. I can do so - using the meshnet IP for that matter - on the laptop, but not over the network. It feels as though it's being blocked by a firewall somehow, but I only have ufw enabled and disabling it dos nothing.

I've tried privileged ports, higher and lower ones, etc. etc. and nada. Anyone doing something similar in a working configuration?
