I have that same docker instance running, and when I go to my emulator and try and connect to that server it says it can't connect . What am I missing to get up and running? Thank you.

Yeah, I ran into this exact issue when testing Jellyfin on the emulator. The key thing is that
localhost
in the emulator doesn’t point to your host machine — you need to use
10.0.2.2:8096
to access services running on your host from the Android emulator. Once I switched to that, everything connected fine.
