The arraylist sites should be initialized before the loop, otherwise it is always reset.

sites.add should be put before the Exit Do, else the last result will not be included.

Apparently in newer versions of Docker Desktop for Windows you can't access (ping) your linux containers by IP.

Now there is some really dirty workaround for this that involves changing a .ps1 file of your Docker installation to get back the DockerNAT interface on windows. After that you need to add a new route in your windows routing table as described here:

Been googling for hours, finally found the one that worked for me, seems like installing libvirt and lxc does not install this package:

I figured out the solution! Following the instructions here (in Chinese, but I'm not Chinese, so chrome automatically translates it for me), I only need to execute pip3 install libxml2-python3, and don't have to mess around with changing import libxml2 to import lxml.

While I concede that I probably don't actually need this to work since it's an internal network, the purpose here is to do a demo to an audience of what installing and using Artifactory in a business might look like, so using internal docker host names for some demo scripts could cause confusion for some viewers. Things need to look as normal and understandable as possible, and that means using the same host names in command line commands run in the containers as I use in my machines browser.

So that said, I did get this to work. The trick is defining a custom internal network on which I can control the IP address that will get assigned. Knowing the IP address that will be assigned I can also ensure that all of my node containers have a custom hosts entry that will know how to route the requests properly. Below is the final compose file.

Note: If you don't explicitly add the default network back to the nginx-proxy service as shown, requests to artifactory.test will return a 502 Bad Gateway response instead of forwarding the request as intended.
