Can’t connect to remote shell(iex) in Docker (WSL) Elixir container
Hello everyone,
I’m trying to set up the ElixirLS debugger to a remote node running inside a Docker container under WSL. My docker-compose.yml snippet looks like this:
ports:
- "4000:4000"
- "4369:4369"
- "9500:9500"
command: >
elixir --sname remote --cookie monster
--erl '-kernel inet_dist_listen_min 9500'
--erl '-kernel inet_dist_listen_max 9500'
-S mix phx.server
Inside the container, I can connect to the remote shell with:
docker-compose exec phoenix iex --sname console --cookie monster --remsh remote
From my local machine(wsl), the app is reachable with:
curl localhost:4000
However, when I attempt this from my local machine(wsl):
iex --sname console --cookie monster --remsh remote
I get the error:
Could not connect to "remote"
I also followed this post but got the same error.

Has anyone successfully connected to a remote Elixir shell on a Docker container running under WSL? Any guidance on what I might be missing would be greatly appreciated!
