Unable to expose docker LoadBalancer service - windows

Question

I am trying to deploy a docker image which is in public repository. I am trying to create a loadbalancer service, and trying to expose the service in my system ip address, and not 127.0.0.1.
I am using a windows 10 , and my docker has WSL2 instead of hyper-v.
Below is my .yaml file. So, the service inside will run in port 4200, so to avoid any kind of confusion I was keeping all the ports in 4200.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: hoopla
spec:
selector:
app: hoopla
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 4200
targetPort: 4200
clusterIP: 10.96.1.3
type: LoadBalancer
status:
loadBalancer:
ingress:
- ip: 192.168.0.144
---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: hoopla
name: hoopla
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: hoopla
template:
metadata:
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: hoopla
spec:
containers:
- image: pubrepo/myimg:latest
name: hoopla
ports:
- containerPort: 4200
Can anybody help me here to understand what mistake I am making. I basically want to expose this on my system IP address.

The loadBalancer service type require a cloud provider's load Balancer ( https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/ )
LoadBalancer: Exposes the Service externally using a cloud provider's load balancer. NodePort and ClusterIP Services, to which the external load balancer routes, are automatically created
If you want to expose your service to your local machine, use kubernetes service nodePort type for example, and if you just want to test your webapp, you can use the kubernetes service clusterIp type and make a port-forward, for example with your clusterIp service:
kubectl port-forward svc/hoopla 4200:4200
