I am trying to deploy Node-Red in the easiest way possible to a Docker container.
I have tried starting a Docker container and pulling an Node-Red image from Docker Hub on my local machine which works fine. I can then access Node-Red on 127.0.0.1:1880.
What I am aiming to do is to run Node-Red under Azure Container Instances, i.e. deploy a Node-Red container serverlessly. An Azure Container Instance is intended to be very easy to get started with and provide a public DNS name to access the service.
I followed the Quickstart steps under https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-quickstart in great detail. The container was indeed stood up and the logs states the expected:

Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.
If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.
You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.
11 Jun 06:46:54 - [info] Server now running at http://127.0.0.1:1880/
11 Jun 06:46:54 - [info] Starting flows
11 Jun 06:46:54 - [info] Started flows
When I try to access the Node-Red instance on the public DNS nothing happens. Am I missing some container-to-host mapping of ports? How can I update the container configuration to be accessible?
