Error when sending to Virtual Printer

[ollie360]

I'm running Bambuddy on Docker. I was able to setup and add the virtual printer to my slicer but when I try to send a print to the virtual printer, I get an error.

When I run the setup check it shows this:

File-upload service (port 990)
Nothing is listening on port 990 of the bind IP, so the slicer cannot upload files. A port conflict on this interface is the usual cause.

Using netstat -ntlp, it shows nothing using port 990 when the container is stopped.

The start up logs seem to show that the FTP service was started and showed no errors.
