I’m an absolute beginner when it comes to setting up a Jenkins environment but I have just installed Jenkins on a MAC v10.15.5 using home-brew and would like the capability to:
Open a web browser
Login to Jenkins from any machine on any network
Trigger a job.
I’m able to do this using a different machine on the same network but unable to do this using a machine on a different network. I changed the "httpListenAddress" value within the jenkins-lts.plist file to 0.0.0.0 to allow the web interface to be accessible from anywhere as mentioned at https://www.macminivault.com/installing-jenkins-on-macos/ but apart from that I’m not sure where to go from here.
I’ve heard about Apache Tomcat but not sure if it's necessary for what I need to do. If anyone can provide instructions / safe approaches about how to login to the Jenkins environment on my MAC from any network that would be appreciated.
To get jenkins web interface use $JENKINS_HOST_IP:8080 (by default jenkins uses port 8080) and then make first-run-configure.
Login to Jenkins from any machine on any network - it depends on network topology, what is used in your organisation. So, to reach jenkins host from any network where should be allowed traffic from/into network where jenkins host is placed.
Trigger a job - where are a lot of triggers you can use. Take a look at official documentation here

I am using Jenkins on MacOS (Monterey) and I want to be able to access my Jenkins from any (outside) network using my ip address.
I have updated the --httpListenAddress to 0.0.0.0 and restarted Jenkins.
I have checked for port 8080 to be open to inbound traffic.
I have been able to access this Jenkins from devices on the same network but not from an outside network.
I was able to achieve everything I wanted when using an AWS EC2 instance (by adding security group rules) but not able to do the same for a local Jenkins on my machine.
Any help/advice would be great! (Maybe without using a 3rd party service?)
Thank you.
I run Memgraph Platform on my laptop inside Docker container. When I'm at the office my colleague can access it, but when I work from home he can not get to the database. I don't have fixed IP address, and my ISP doesn't allow me to do port forwarding and dynamic DNS also doesn't work for me. What can I do to make my database accessible to others?
Try to follow the advice given by #Martheen. I have experience with running Tailscale for this purpose and it works.
I don't know why you can't deploy it to some server (if there are regulation issues or company policies in question) but if it is not any of those maybe you could use Memgraph Cloud and host your data. That way you would be sure that everyone with the right credentials could access your data. But it all depends on your setup and usage scenario. Since you are using Docker I presume that you have all of your environment configured right the way that you want on your laptop.
I am a web developer and I am currently using Vagrant + VirtualBox to run my projects. I have a Proliant server at home that I am not using at the moment. I was thinking, is there any way I could use it instead of the VM, so I could run my projects remotely?
P.S: Can you think about any other cool use cases for this server?
Vagrant is design to work with VMs or containers when using a docker provider but not bare metal server simply because the goal is to be able to build, use, destroy and rebuild environment programmatically so using a base-metal server break the main use case.
The possible course of action is to install the hypervisor on your personal server and then configure your Vagrantfile to use the remote provider instead of the local. You'll have as a direct benefit the ability to create a lot of instance since your server will most likely have more resources than your local laptop/desktop workstation.
I have a Jenkins server on my local Windows device, but I want to make it invisible to the outside world (office rules regarding servers). The obvious and unsubtle way, which works satisfactorily, is to set up a firewall rule to block incoming access to its port, but I feel there must be a Jenkins setting to stop it advertising its services to anyone but localhost. Can anyone tell me if there is?
Note that setting up user credentials is not a valid solution, as the server being visible but inaccessible without login still violates office rules.
From Starting and Accessing Jenkins you need --httpListenAddress=127.0.0.1 command line parameter:
--httpListenAddress=$HTTP_HOST - Binds Jenkins to the IP address represented by $HTTP_HOST. The default is 0.0.0.0 — i.e. listening on all available interfaces.
For example, to only listen for requests from localhost, you could use: --httpListenAddress=127.0.0.1
If you run your Jenkins as Windows service, you can extend command line arguments in jenkins.xml file in Jenkins home directory.

I am trying to run a website from my computer using Spring Tool Suite (STS). Using pivotal tc Server I can access this website that I made by running the server and using localhost:8080 as a url.
My laptop contains other software that is permitted to only run in the laptop and it is needed to run my code in Spring tool suite.(School policy to SSH's into another computer to get access to my database; it is a requirement)
How would I be able to access that website that is running in my laptop that uses pivotal tc Server. Please assume I know nothing about IP address and DNS. Also, assume that I can move my laptop around like a mobile device.
To solve this problem you need to tunnel to your local machine
