I have installed rundeck in docker using ec2 instance.
When I run the image and start rundeck. It's fine.
Lynx http:localhost:4440
Us able to show rundeck dashboard.
But, how can I access this rundeck from Windows browser?
I tried using address but connection refused.
In order to access this from outside for your setup, you might have to ensure the following things:
Ensure that host server (ec2) is forwarding ports to the docker container. You should have used -p or -ports when launching the container for this.
Test: From your EC2 instance, you should be able to access: http://localhost:4440
Ensure you have a public IP assigned to your EC2. You should be able to see that from your aws ec2 console: http://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2
Ensure that your security group(s) for that instance has InBound connections to accept 4440 from your IP or rest of the world.
After this, your http://:4440 should work.
I hope I got your question correct.
Let me know how it goes,
Thanks,

My problem is that I want to run an application on an AWS EC2 instance on port 3000. I then want to be able to access it from the internet using http:/PUBLIC_IP:3000. The problem is that when I am running the application on the EC2 instance, it runs on the private IP - and therefore I cant access it from the internet. How would I make sure that the app will run on the public ip, or how would I set it up, so I can access the application over the internet?
I tried to find a solution online, but some hours later I find myself in here.
Thank you for your help. It was very helpful in debugging the error. It turned out that the security group of the EC2 instance was not allowing traffic on port 3000 so I had to add that - and then it worked.
I furthermore had trouble putting it behind a Load Balancer. The solution to that was that it was a webpack application and in .webpack there is a configuration file where you can add e.g., allowedHosts: [.amazonaws.com].
I'm used to connect to my cluster using telepresence and access cluster services locally.
Now, I need to make services in the cluster available to a group of applications that are running in docker containers locally. We can say that it's the inverse use case.
I've an app that is running in a docker container. It access services that are deploy using docker-compose. It has been done by using a network:
docker network create myNetwork
// Make app 1 to use it
docker network connect myNetwork app1
// App 2 uses docker compose, so myNetwork is defined in it and here I just:
docker-compose up
My app1 access correctly the containers/services running in app2. However, I still need it to access a service from my cluster!
I've tried make a tunnel from my host to the cluster with telepresence and then try to access the service as if it were in my host. However it seems not to work. If I go into my app1 container and do a curl to see if the service name resolves:
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: my_cluster_service_name
Is my approach wrong? Am I missing an operation or consideration? How could I accomplish it?
Docker version: Docker version 19.03.8 for Mac
I've find a way to solve the problem.
Instead of trying to use telepresence as for the inverse use case, solution comes by using a port-forward with k9s. When creating it, it's important to do not leave the default interface, that is set to localhost, and put 0.0.0.0 instead to ensure that it listens traffic from all interfaces.
Then I've changed my containers from inside, making the services to point to my host's IP when trying to resolve the service names. Use the method that better fits your case for this: since it's not a production environment I just tried hardcoding my host IP manually to check if the connectivity was achieved.
To point to an specific service of your cluster you need to use different ports since they will be all mapped to your host with different port-forwards. Name resolving is no longer needed.
With this configuration, your container request will reach your host, where the port-forward routes it to the cluster. Connectivity is OK with this setup and the problem is solved.
I have Windows EC2 instance I use for my public-facing C# API. The VPC(and related Internet Gateway, subnets, etc) are all default.
I've now setup an AWS ElasticSearch service using their more secure VPC Endpoint option (instead of public-facing) and I've associated it to the same subnet and vpc as my above Windows EC2 instance.
I'd like to get them to talk to each other.
Reading from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/latest/developerguide/es-vpc.html
It seems what you'd do is ssh tunnel / port forward traffic from localhost:9200 on the EC2 instance to the actual Elastic Search service (via that VPC endpoint).
It seems this command is where the magic happens:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/your-key.pem ec2-user#your-ec2-instance-public-ip -N -L 9200:vpc-your-amazon-es-domain.region.es.amazonaws.com:443
but that is for a Linux EC2 instance.
If I am Remote Desktopped into my Windows EC2 instance (the API), how can I make it so when I go to a browser, http://localhost:9200
will send traffic to my VPC Endpoint:
vpc-your-amazon-es-domain.region.es.amazonaws.com:443
Thanks!
Alright, so I'll answer my two questions:
First, it's actually quite easy, just RDP to your box and access the instance directly via the VPC endpoint. You don't need to do anything wacky like port forwarding using the netsh command or anything like that. Simply make sure the server (in my case my API) is on the same VPC and you're fine. I just had an error in my connection string that's why it didn't connect. To confirm, I RDP'D in and was able to hit the endpoint directly in a browser on port 80. While it's true the actual Elasticsearch runs on port 9200, you don't need to forward to localhost:9200 --> vpc:9200.
Now, regarding the second question, about hitting it locally, I think the problem is that because this service lacks a public IP address and you can't access it, that you can go through some complicated setup on AWS, or easier is just set it up to run locally for now until you are ready to use the VPC one (and thus your code will just run). Another option is to use security groups and make a publicly accessible cluster for now, and then when your code is done, search service/layer done, etc, you can start anew with a VPC/secure Elasticsearch service and that should be it.
Another thing that many mention is that it is cheaper/you have more control of things if you setup your own Elasticsearch on your local machine, and then set one up on EC2 (this is just reading blogs and seeing people mention how much frustration they had with it).
I am trying to setup an amazon ec2 instance for first time.
I've created one with ubuntu 10.4, managed to connect to ssh and installed mongodb, mysql, php and apache which need for my proyect(also python but it is already setup).
Then I associated an elastic ip to the instance, but when I try to open the IP, I can't. It gives timeout.
Could it be that the apache root is not where I think it is?(/var/www/)
You need to check the security group that is associated with the instance. Make sure that you open up port 80.
Also make sure that apache is started, and configured to start on boot.
If you're logged in, you should be able to use wget localhost to verify if apache is serving up pages.
I am having trouble connecting to an Amazon Elastic Cloud Computer Instance via a browser.
I attempted going to ********.compute-1.amazonaws.com , but the browser returns that the connection has timed out.
I can connect via ssh and winscp. That is how I uploaded a web app I developer. I have also created a security group and added rules to open ports 22 and 80.
Do I have to assign the security group to the instance somehow?
The security group's rules also do not have a source IP, well they do its 0.0.0.0/0
I would really appreciate any and all help in getting this site ' viewable ' via a browser.
By default, your instances will only be in the default security group. If it's an EC2 instance you cannot change security groups while the instance is running, you'll have to specify them in advance. If it's a VPC instance you can change security groups at runtime.
Add the rule to the default group
You can however add the rule to allow port 80 to that default security group; just don't create a new security group as it can not be associated with the running instance.
Is the web server up?
Also, make sure that your web server is up and running. From your instance (using SSH shell access), check if the right process is listening on port 80, using the command netstat -lnp. You should then see a row with proto tcp and a Local Address ending in :80. The IP Address listed should be either 0.0.0.0 (meaning 'any IP') or a specific IP of a listening network interface.
Web server not up
If you are in need of a web server, take a look at Apache or Nginx. They both support PHP.
Hope this helps.
I had also faced similar issue with ec2 micro instance. I was using Red-Hat AMI. Despite of opening ports 8081 in security group, I was not able to a telnet to the host port. Disabling the iptable did the trick for me:
sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop
Do not forget to disable firewall if you use windows for your server.
I faced the same issue while setting up redash AMI image on AWS. Inbound security rules should be changed when instance is not running. Let's say if the instance is running (meaning it's active and started); If you change the inbound rules of that machine you'll still face firewall issue. So Stop the machine on which you want to change the inbound rules on. Change the inbound rules. Start the machine now. Now you can hit the machine url from the ip you just opened the access to the machine to.
The EC2 instance firewall is maybe enabled.
Check it with this command:
sudo systemctl status firewalld
if enabled you can disable it with :
sudo systemctl disable firewalld
or setup rules to allow port 80 trafic
