I am having a problem with port 8081 conflicting with Azure Cosmos DB emulator and my Docker containers.
The obvious fix was to change the Docker container that was using the host port 8081. I was surpised that Azure Cosmos DB was using this port so I decided to ask Perplexity why this was happening. The answers I got back were impressive.
Once my containers are up and running I can’t use Azure Cosmos DB Emulator because I get a message from the Emulator saying that Port 8081 is in use.
One of the shortcomings I find with Hyper-V is that it isn’t easy to copy files from Windows into my Hyper-V virtual environment.
I have found a quick and easy method to share a virtual Windows folder with Hyper-V and will describe how to set this up.
Starting a file share You need to open Control Panel and “Turn Windows Features On And Off”. From here select SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support and SMB Direct.
I have installed Hyper-V on my PC. I am going to use this to test various Linux distributions.
I have noticed that every time I load a new distribution as a virtual machine it doesn’t display full screen. I have to change the resolution to be able to see my Linux system in full screen mode.
One way to change your resolution is via the following:
Open a terminal window.
To be able to mount exFAT filesystem on Ubuntu you’ll need to install the free FUSE exFAT module and tools which provide a full-featured exFAT file system implementation for Unix-like systems.
Before installing the packages make sure the Universe repository is enabled on your system. Open your terminal either by using the Ctrl+Alt+T keyboard shortcut or by clicking on the terminal icon and type:
sudo add-apt-repository universe Once the repository is enabled update the packages index and install the exfat-fuse and exfat-utils packages using the following commands:
