The bridge is not discovered properly by the official Hue app

Support
1

I am running diyHue on Ubuntu 20.04 on VMware on top of Windows 10. I can connect to the bridge through the Hue Essentials app, but if i try to use the official Hue app, the bridge is discovered for a couple of seconds, then it disappears. I’ll mention that I have to connect manually using the Hue Essentials app, it does not discover the bridge automatically. I’ll leave you a video to understand better what’s going on.


Thank you!

You’ll need to either use host networking or provide the Mac address as an environment variable. Suggest reading the documentation again

Same, I’ve provided the mac address in the docker run command as well. I guess I don’t even see diyHue in the Hue app.
