cant connect to activemq web console deployed in wsl2 ubuntu 22.04 from windows 11

Question

I'm trying to use activemq 5.17.3 in windows 11 wsl2 ubuntu 22.04. However I cant connect to localhost:8161, 127.0.0.1:8161, http://172.30.192.1:8161 (ipv4 address of wsl). All of them giving me response connection refused. I already turn off windows defender firewall, but the problem isnt solved yet.

Im also using docker in wsl. If I access service from the docker containers, i can connect without problem. same thing when I run php artisan serve to run laravel project in wsl, I can connect too but only using url 127.0.0.1.

Please help me. I will gladly update the question with requested details you needed to answer the question. Sorry for the bad english. Thank you.

The solution is:

for activemq classic:

inside the $ACTIVEMQ_HOME directory, there is conf/jetty.xml. change the host from to 0.0.0.0

<bean id="jettyPort" class="org.apache.activemq.web.WebConsolePort" init-method="start">
         <!-- the default port number for the web console -->
    <property name="host" value="0.0.0.0"/>
    <property name="port" value="8161"/>
</bean>

for activemq artemis:

inside the $ARTEMIS_INSTANCE_HOME directory, there is etc/bootstrap.xml. change the web binding host to 0.0.0.0

<!-- The web server is only bound to localhost by default -->
<web path="web" rootRedirectLocation="console">
   <binding uri="http://0.0.0.0:8161">
       <app url="activemq-branding" war="activemq-branding.war"/>
       <app url="artemis-plugin" war="artemis-plugin.war"/>
       <app url="console" war="console.war"/>
   </binding>
</web>
