Problems accessing grunt live server (mac) from mobile device - terminal

The server works fine locally, but I can't access the server from outside when I'm entering the hostname in my mobile browser (webpage not available). I my Gruntfile.js i have
connect: {
options: {
port: 9000,
hostname: '130.236.124.57',
livereload: 35729
},//...
where hostname is the ip (inet) adress I get when I'm running ifconfig in the terminal.

You should change your hostname to 0.0.0.0 to allow external requests and restart your grunt server.
Next, access your external server with your machine specific hostname/IP

How do I enable remote access/request to Elastic APM-server?

I have setup of Elastic with APM server on single machine. I've configured APM java agent to push traces to APM server on localhost. Everything works fine with localhost configuration on Windows.
Now, I'm looking to run apm java agent for application running on different machine on the same network. That is apm java agent on linux & apm server running on windows machine.
Default APM-server listen to localhost. I tried to change setting on apm-server.yml file with -
apm-server:
# Defines the host and port the server is listening on. use "unix:/path/to.sock" to listen on a unix domain socket.
host: "hot-ip:8200"
default is:
host:"localhost:8200".
After making apm-server.yml change, process explorer show apm-server.exe process listening to IP- host-ip port- 8200 protocol- TCP.
But, still http://host-ip:8200 is not accessible from other machine on network. While on the same machine (windows) http://localhost:8200 & http://host-ip:8200 works fine & give below response.

version: "7.1.1",
}
Thanks for help.
To listen on 0.0.0.0 try:
host: ":8200"
Is a firewall blocking the traffic (like Window's built-in one)?
10.9.21.91 is the IP that hosts are trying to reach? Just to be sure you could bind to host: "0.0.0.0:8200", which would cover all possible interfaces.
Replace "localhost:8200" with "0.0.0.0:8200" in apm-server.yml

Access Docker forwarded port on Mac

Try to access forwarded port from host, no luck... :(((

Connecting to 192.168.99.100:33358... failed: Connection refused.
What do I do wrong?
Omg, desired service started on 127.0.0.1 in container, that is why it wasn't visible from outside world. I've modified service config to start on 0.0.0.0 and now I can access forwarded container port
I had the same problem and was able to fix it by specifying the host that the server within the container uses.
NOTE: when using host below, it means a web server host. When I use host-machine, I mean the main operating system I'm using, (i.e. not a container or a web server, just my laptop as a machine)
The Problem
Running web servers on the container like webpack-dev-server and http-server automatically run the app using a host of http://localhost. Typically you will see that in the output when you start the server. Something like :
Project is running at http://localhost:8080
or
Server available at http://127.0.0.1:8080
On most machines, localhost and 127.0.0.1 are the same thing. This host is not publicly viewable. As a result, your host machine can't see anything, even though it's looking in the right place.
Solution
You should specify a public host when you run the server inside your container.
webpack-dev-server --port 8080 --host 0.0.0.0
or
http-server -p 8080 -a 0.0.0.0
Because the 0.0.0.0 address is viewable to any outside machine, you should be able to see your app working as expected from your host machine.
NOTE: This works for any server, like Python's SimpleHTTPServer, etc. Just look up how to change the host for your chosen server in the documentation

Access web server over https in a Docker container

I'm using Boot2Docker to manage Docker containers in Windows and I have a container running an IBM Liberty server (I guess is the same for any other server), I can access the server home screen in the host machine using only the ip (which I get using the command boot2docker ip), but if I try to access the server using the https port, like this xx.xx.xx.xx:9443 the connection fails.
I tried forwarding the port in VirtualBox like this:
And then access the server using the ports 1000 or 1001, but it fails too.
Am I missing something?
BTW, I'm using default NAT connection.
https uses port 443 (not 9443) by default.
Make both "Host Port" and "Guest Port" 443 and try again.

Empty reply from server - can't connect to vagrant vm w/port forwarding

I'm running werkzeug (as part of a Tilestache setup) inside a Vagrant VM, running ubuntu 'precise.'
In my Vagrantfile, I have:
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 8080, host: 8080
When I start the server in the VM, I see:
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:8080/
If I curl that address from within the VM, I get the expected result. When I curl it from the host machine, I get:
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
And Chrome says "No data received."
Troubleshooting info:
The server responds to pings from the host machine
a port sniffer verifies that the port is open
running netstat -ntlp | grep 8080 in the vm shows that the server is listening on 8080
My local hostsfile doesn't have any weird conflicts
I'm also forwarding 22 => 2222, and I can ssh in with no trouble
I've disabled the firewall on the host, and i don't believe there's one on the guest (iptables and ufw are disabled, at least)
I've set auto_correct: true in case there are conflicts (there aren't)
I know I could set up a private network, but I'd like to understand why this isn't working and how to troubleshoot it.
Any other ideas?
When running a server from within a VM, start the server on 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1.
127.0.0.1 is only accessible to the local machine, which for a VM means nothing outside of the VM can reach it! 0.0.0.0 is accessible from anywhere on the local network, which to a VM includes the host machine.
The answer came from here: Connection Reset when port forwarding with Vagrant
(Which apparently got its answer from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5999945/738675)
With help from: https://serverfault.com/questions/78048/whats-the-difference-between-ip-address-0-0-0-0-and-127-0-0-1
Google-bait:
Here are the errors you might receive if this is the problem:
Chrome: "No data received"
Firefox: "The connection was reset - The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
Safari: "Safari can’t open the page [URL] because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection"
curl: "Empty reply from server"
In the /etc/hosts inside the VM, change line
127.0.0.1 localhost -> 0.0.0.0 localhost
and then restart server
This can also be a problem with your firewall on the vagrant machine. If you can curl the address while on the vagrant box, then check your firewalld settings or turn it off:
on CENTOS:
sudo service firewalld stop
Then you should update your firewalld settings and restart it ;)

Access an AngularJS app running on a Grunt-Proxy server inside a VM from the host

In our development environment we have Ubuntu VMs running on a Windows 7 host. We found that if we change the Gruntfile's "connect.options.hostname" to '0.0.0.0' we can hit our Angular app running in the VM from Internet Explorer in the host.
In order to avoid a cross-domain error when we hit some web services from Angular, we setup a Grunt-Proxy server. This works fine in the VM. From the host, any time the app tries to hit a web service it fails (since it's not on the proxy port) trying to access a server on port 9000 (the server is running on port 8888). From the host when I try to access the App on the proxy port (8050) I just get a 404 error - I'm not really sure how to proceed with this.
My proxy is setup as follows in the Gruntfile:
proxy: {
proxy1: {
options: {
port : 8050,
host : 'localhost',
router : {
'localhost/rest/*' : 'localhost:8888',
'localhost' : 'localhost:9000'
}
}
}
},
I tried playing with some of these settings but haven't had any luck. Any help would be appreciated.
