Right now I just want to be able to run my web app on my phone and have it access my back-end service remotely.
I’m just having a challenge getting that "signal chain” set up and working. I know what it’s supposed to be in theory; it’s just not as easy as plugging a wire between a couple of sockets.
Docker is optional.
How can I do something like a "signal trace” in Windows?

I’m having trouble getting the service part working on a remote server, and someone suggested using Docker to isolate it and get it running inside of the VM first, then copy it to the remote server. The remote server is also Windows based, obviously.
