Port forwarding

Important: Run time layer: Android -> Termux -> Alphine -> Docker Daemon Instance -> Containers

So, port forwarding is mandatory to expose the container port from alphine to termux - in order to access the endpoints.

How to forward a port from Termux native to Alpine to be able to access the apps:

From the docker-qemu-arm/alpine folder:

ssh -i qemukey -L 8080:localhost:4647 root@localhost -p 2222

This will forward the port 8080 in Termux native to the port 4647 in the Alpine container.
