Node red integration to HA Need more than 4 com ports

Hi,
I have been using node red instaled on W10 using node JS. My set up is using 5x mod bus dongles (to hack in to 5 difrent mod bus networks)… these are all pluged in to a usb hub and set as com port 31-34 and 41

I have been wanting to use some of this data to trigger activation of smart plugs so have been looking at using HA running on a virtual lynix machien for this for this.
Got it all set up and programed to night and moved my node red program in to the node red page of the HA integration.

BUT i have a problelm… the vitulal machine seams to only allow me to have 4 com ports…

is there a way I have get ha to see move that 4 com ports?
could I work around by having node red running directly on the W10 as i did and then the HA on the virtual and linking them somhow?

Thank you for you help.
looking farward to getting on this journey

found the solution . I ran node red on windows and ha on linex via virtual box and linked the 2… works
