Unable to access Hass.io from https://[HassioHostIP]:8123

However access via https://hassio.local:8123/ works fine.

I am trying to set up external access and can’t figure out how to access HA externally. Normally for my other apps I can access them via the usual localhost:port or hostIP:port and can then forward those ports externally to externalIP:port or dynDNS:port.

Not sure if I am missing something here?

FYI I am running a Hass.io VM in virtualBox on an OSX system.

Edit: After much headscratching I logged into my router and found an entry for hassio in my DHCP - it is separate IP to my host computers static IP and i can access Hassio (only) from that IP. Not sure why…?? but all sorted now!
