 . Make sure you are logged in as the user that created the site:

 [source, bash]
 ----
 $ skupper status
 Skupper is enabled for "<username>" with site name "<machine-name>-<username>".
 ----
+
+If you are exposing a service that is running on the same host as your site that is not a podman container, you need to specify an external IP address, not `localhost`. 
+
+For example, you can find the currently used IP address with the following command:
+[source, bash]
+----
+$ ip route get 8.8.8.8 | head -1 | awk ' {print $(NF-2) }'
+10.32.241.97
+----
+
+Use that IP address when exposing the service:
+
+[source, bash]
+----
+skupper expose host 10.32.241.97 --address backend --port 8080
+----
