Cannot access brew-installed Jenkins in VirtualBox - macos

I installed the Jenkins through brew install jenkins-lts in macOS.
The macOS is running as VirtualBox VM instance on Windows Host.
On VirtualBox host Windows, I cannot access Jenkins through http://localhost:8080 or http://10.0.2.15:8080 from browser. (10.0.2.15 is my guest VM macOS's IP address)
What I've setup
Jenkins-lts service is started. macOS safari can access through http://localhost:8080
VirtualBox port forwarding is set, TCP/HOST: 0.0.0.0:8080 /GUEST: 10.0.2.15:8080
By the same port forwarding setup for SSH HOST: 0.0.0.0:22 /GUEST: 10.0.2.15:22, I can successfully connect to SSH.

By the default config file /usr/local/Cellar/jenkins-lts/2.x.x/homebrew.mxcl.jenkins-lts.plist. brew-installed Jenkins's default listening address is 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0. This causes Jenkins's web server only listen request from localhost instead of any network adapter.
Steps
Edit config file, vi /usr/local/Cellar/jenkins-lts/2.x.x/homebrew.mxcl.jenkins-lts.plist
Find the row <string>--httpListenAddress=127.0.0.1</string> and change to <string>--httpListenAddress=0.0.0.0</string>
Restart Jenkins, brew services restart jenkins-lts

Microk8s Access nginx pod to other Host Machines

I am using MIcrok8s 1.26v using Hyperv over windows 10. I am unable to access nginx pod to other host machines. I have exposed nginx using this cmd “microk8s kubectl expose deployment nginx-webserver --type=“NodePort” --port 80”. Its exposed to the clusterIP which i am able to access. What should i do to make the pod access to other host machines on the same network.
Microk8s version: 1.26v
windows version: 10 Pro
Hypervisor: HyperV
Using Multipass
I tried to access the pod with vm IP address. But was not able to access to other host machine.
Also not accessible to the host ip address where vm is deployed.
I got the solution after lots of research.
Step1: Because the IP address keeps on changing I have take this step.
To make microk8s work on DNS instead of IP Address
Edit the config file after login into microk8s-vm shell using multipass shell micrk8s-vm in cmd. Login to root user.
sudo su
vi /var/snap/microk8s/current/certs/csr.conf.template
add line >>>>>> under alt.names>>>>DNS.6 = microk8s-vm.mshome.net
exit the vim editor
Update the .kube/config and Microk8s/config . Replace the IP Address with the given dns name(eg: microk8s-vm.mshome.net)
Microk8s stop
Restart the Host machine.
Step 2: Because Microk8s port forwarding fails i have to opt for windows port forwarding.
Configure Windows port forwarding :https://woshub.com/port-forwarding-in-windows/
Now i am able to access the nginx web server on other windows machine.

How to disable selinux/iptables in MacOS to visit docker server from Host computer?

I am running a docker container of python server in my computer (MacOS Catalina, the container can connect MySQL and Redis from host computer, the server is running normally, but I can't visit server on host computer), in Linux environment, we need to disable the selinux, firewall and iptables, for example, edit /etc/selinux/config
and type as below
SELINUX=disabled
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
How to disable selinux/iptables in MacOS or how to visit docker server from the Host computer, I already tried to use host.docker.internal instead of 127.0.0.1, but it doesn't work, if I use host.docker.internal in MySQL or Redis config, also failed, I only can use the really IP such as 192.168.1.45 instead of host.docker.internal or 127.0.0.1

Setup ssh tunnel from docker container on macos Mojave 10.14

I am having trouble setting up an ssh tunnel on my mac machine. I have no problems setting up the tunnel on my ubuntu box. This is the command I run
ssh -nNT -L 172.18.0.1:4000:production-database-url:3306 jump-point
When I run this on my mac, I get the following error:
bind [172.18.0.1]:4000: Can't assign requested address
channel_setup_fwd_listener_tcpip: cannot listen to port: 4000 Could
not request local forwarding.
If I run without the bind_address (172.18.0.1), I am able to connect to the database via the tunnel.
If I bind to all interfaces (0.0.0.0), then tunnel is open, however, the connection to the database from inside the docker container does not work.
172.18.0.1 is the IP of docker's default bridge network gateway, not your host's IP.
You can run this command to check that.
$ docker network inspect bridge
Docker for Mac has limitations
There is no docker0 bridge on macOS (it's in the docker VM host on Mac and on Windows)
You cannot ping containers (without shaving a bunch of yaks)
Per-container IP addressing is not possible
Also note that this means the docker run option --net-host is not supported on Mac, but maybe that's a good thing
There is a workaround
These magic addresses resolve to the host's IP from within a container
docker.for.mac.localhost (deprecated)
docker.for.mac.host.internal (deprecated)
host.docker.internal
This resolves to the gateway of the host mac
gateway.docker.internal
Use the name host.docker.internal from within the container just like you would use localhost on the mac directly.
Don't worry about the bind address for the tunnel:
ssh -nNT -L 4000:production-database-url:3306 jump-point
You didn't mention which database but I take it from the port 3306 that it is MySQL.
To connect using the mysql cli from within a container, via an ssh tunnel on your host, to a remote mysql database server you can run:
mysql --host host.docker.internal [... other options go here]

Docker Toolbox - Localhost not working

So I'm using Docker Toolbox because I don't have Hyper-V on my machine since it's not Windows 10 pro. Everything seems to work fine, but when I try to go on my browser 0.0.0.0:80 it always returns me: This site can’t be reached
But when I run the command: docker container ps I get the following: 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp meaning that this address should work. I searched across stackoverflow and github issues. Now I'm stuck.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Mark
EDIT:
Using docker-machine ip default returns me 192.168.99.100. I run that on port 80. I still get the same result except that the address becomes the container id: https://fd677edg12
I run that command on cmd to find my ipv4: cmd /k ipconfig /all. Put the result with the port and it returns the same thing: https://fd677edg12
Docker Toolbox doesn't get as many conveniences as Docker for Windows, but you're correct in using it since you're on Home edition.
In Toolbox, nothing will be localhost, and will be 192.168.99.100 by default, since it's running a Linux VM in VirtualBox.
So if you run docker run -p 80:80 nginx
(notice I had to publish a port for 192.168.99.100 to listen on that port)
Then going to http://192.168.99.100 should work.
I initially had a few issues with accessing my Applications at localhost:8080 while using DockerToolBox and OracleVM VirtualBox.
In VirtualBox:
Click the appropriate machine (probably the one labeled "default")
Settings
Network > Adapter 1 > Advanced > Port Forwarding
Click "+" to add a new Rule
Set Host Port 8080 & Guest Port 8080; be sure to leave Host IP and Guest IP empty
Run the command:
docker run -p 8080:8080 ${image_id}
I was following docker for windows tutorial in https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/#set-up-tab-completion-in-powershell and got stuck in step #6 when test nginx in the web browser. Seems I faced a similar problem since I also use Windows Home and don't have Hyper-V. My workaround is quite simple:
check your docker IP default
$ docker-machine ip default
192.168.99.100
Go to Oracle Virtual Machine to set for port forwarding. Make sure the network setting is NAT, and add port forwarding.
Host IP: 127.0.0.1, Guest IP: 192.168.99.100, port all set to 80
like this
Try again to your browser and run http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 (can add the port 80 also). It should run.
The thing is that the nginx IP is meant to be accessible within the docker Virtual Machine, so that we need that port forwading setting in order to access it directly in the host machine's browser
You can use localhost instead of '192.168.99.100' by following the instructions:
Step #01:
docker-machine ip default
You will see the default IP
Step #02:
docker-machine stop default
Step #03:
Open VirtualBox Manager (from the start programs in windows search for VirtualBox Manager)
Select your Docker Machine VirtualBox image (e.g.: default)
Open Settings -> Network -> Advanced -> Port Forwarding
Add your app name, the desired host port and your guest port
i.e, app name : nginx, host: 127.0.0.1, host port: 80, guest port: 80
Step #04:
Now you’re ready to start your Docker Machine by executing the following:
docker-machine start default
Then just start your Docker container and you will be able to access it via localhost.
Have a look here for details.
To map the ports expected to localhost instead of hitting the docker-machine IP directly, you can use the VirtualBox CLI.
If the docker-machine VM (here called default) is running, add and delete rules like this:
> VBoxManage.exe controlvm "default" natpf1 "nginx,tcp,,8888,,8888"
> VBoxManage.exe controlvm "default" natpf1 delete nginx
If the VM is not running, or you want to stop before altering it:
> docker-machine stop
> VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "default" --natpf1 "nginx,tcp,,8888,,8888"
> VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "default" --natpf1 delete "nginx"
> docker-machine start
Where the format of the port forwarding rule is [<name>],tcp|udp,[<hostip>],<hostport>,[<guestip>], <guestport>.
Note that in VirtualBox, you want to map to the host port of Docker map, not the internal container port. You're mapping host -> VM, then Docker maps VM -> container.
See the VirtualBox docs.
This is another easy way to avoid typing the ip 192.168.99.100.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and add at the end of the file:
192.168.99.100 docker.awesome or any name of your liking.
Save the file (You need to have admin rights so make sure you right click on the file and run as administrator to be able to save it when you edit it).
Go to your chosen domain name, docker.awesome:8080 in this case and there you have it.
After lot of trials, I was able to get this bulletin board.
The docker run command I used - docker run -p 4680:8080 --name bb bulletinboard:1.0
Here, 4680 is localhost port number.
8080 is container port number, the port at which the container will be listening. This port number is mentioned in the EXPOSE command in the Dockerfile.
Then, go to web-browser and type 192.168.99.100:4680
Here, 192.168.99.100 is the docker machine IP address (use command -> docker-machine ip)
After this, your browser page should open to -
Hope this helps you all!!

Unable to connect to Apache server over HTTPS on Centos7 on VirtualBox from MAC

I have a Centos 7 OS configured on VirtualBox machine. I have installed X509 certificate using Openssl tool and configured the apache HTTPD server.
I connect to Centos7 guest on VirtualBox via SSH on my local MAC OSX Seirra (10.12.3) on terminal using root. I have verified that /etc/host on my MAC is correctly pointing to the guest on VirtualBox. Also verified the port forwarding on VirtualBox and they are all setup correctly for allowing traffic on 80 (http) and 443 (https) and 22 (ssh).Also I have made sure that Apache user has proper previleges on the index.html and other folders under DocumentRoot folder. I have also verified that /etc/host on my MAC is correctly pointing to a guest running on VirtualBox.
I have set the firewall to :
setenforce 0
So hopefully it is not a SELinux issue.
Then I run following command on terminal as root user of my Centos7 OS :
curl https://localhost -k
and I do get the default index.html file content.
But then, when I go to my MAC OS browser to connect to VirtualBOX website on HTTPS, I see following message on Chrome browser :
This site can’t be reached localhost refused to connect.
Please note that I can connect to my Vbox CentOS HTTPD server on HTTP.
So what is going wrong here when trying to access the apache server using HTTPS?
You must enable access to https using firewall-cmd:
# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https
or
# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcp
then reload the rules
# firewall-cmd --reload
Try this once.
systemctl stop firewalld
After that try to access website.
