I downloaded the Fabric server jar file to a GitHub Codespace and am able to run the server without trouble. However, I am unable to determine the IP needed to connect to the server. Starting the server automatically forwards port 25565 and I make the port public. However, I can't figure out which IP to paste into Minecraft to connect to it. How do I figure out the IP of the server?
I found an answer thanks to inspiration from this question.
Steps:
Set up the fabric server jar as you normally would, but on the codespace. Start the server.
Split the terminal so one is running Java (server console) and the other is running bash.
Install ngrok via npm i ngrok --save-dev.
Once the server is finished setting up, run the command ./node_modules/.bin/ngrok tcp 25565.
Copy the ip shown under Forwarding (minus the tcp:// part and including the port). This should look something like 4.tcp.ngrok.io:17063.
You now have the ip of the serve!
Note: The free version of ngrok has URLs which change every time, as well as a limit, but for small-scale servers this shouldn't be an issue. You are also limited by the free codespace usage limit GitHub puts in place. However, you can easily get around this by creating a secondary account that you use codespaces on only for the server.

I am new to Mesos and just finished setting up mesos and along with zookeeper on my test server.
Unfortunately I keep getting this error message on my mesos console indicating i am unable to connect to mesos on port 5050 and can't seem to figure out why.
I have included the error in the screen shot below
The mesos log files doesn't point to why the error is showing either.
I resolved the problem by this:
./bin/mesos-master.sh --ip=x.x.x.x --work_dir=/var/lib/mesos --hostname=x.x.x.x
We can avoid this problem by starting mesos-master with following option:
--ip=xx.xx.xx.xx --hostname_lookup=false
I have resolved this problem. Open the web page in Chrome, and open the developer tool, you will see the chrome is accessing the web site with domain, in my case the domain name is "mesosphere", as there is no mesosphere in dns, so the accessing was failed.
I solved the problem by adding the mesosphere in the hosts file, C:/windows/system32/etc/hosts/
If you use the domain name for the Mesos cluster you must set the domain name in windows hosts.
There can be multiple issues here.
Is your mesos-master running and healthy ?
Has leader election process completed, if all is good.
Check if you are able to do
ping leader.mesos
If above ping doesn't work, that means leader has not been elected. First fix that.
I had this problem also. Luckily, I have a running mesos server also. So, I can compare the different between my demo and the running mesos server. I captured the packets between client and server in my demo. I found the explorer didn`t resend fresh request, only some keepalive packets.
but, when I catch the packets in the running mesos server, I found the explorer send get request frequently. like the image
I think, if you run some task or add some agent, maybe it will activate the explore to send request frequently. Then the "Failed to connect" will disappeared.
I was having the same issues and what fixed it for me was the zookeeper configuration. In my case I was using the EC2 public IP Address rather than the private one. Once I changed the /etc/mesos/zk file to zk://<private IP>:2181/mesos I was able to connect without the constant error messages. In other words, zookeeper was reporting to be running in one IP and mesos-master was trying to connect using a different IP.
My configuration was correct as suggested. But failed to start mesos-master service. But There is alternative way to start mesos-master node with exact same configuration. Commands to start mesos-master
$ cd /usr/sbin [or mesos_installation directory/bin]
$sudo ./mesos-master --work_dir=/var/lib/mesos --log_dir=/home/rajeev/logs/mesos/
Its start mesos-master service successfully for me.
I'm in a computer science program at my university (Ryerson) and I'm learning perl programming.
The way we're learning is by hosting perl scripts on our university's server and doing stuff with them.
I'm away from the university and the university's server is very strict about which IP's can use the www2 subdomain (which is the subdomain that runs perl scripts). And the IP I'm working from gets me the error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~w3dixon/cgi-bin/lab4.cgi on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) Server at www2.scs.ryerson.ca Port 80
Here's the link, if you want to try to access the script yourself.
So I'm being blocked. Normally I'd contact the sys admin and get them to unblock me, but a working perl script is due tonight. (I also tried using a VPN, it was blocked as well).
My solution was to SSH with terminal on my mac and/or Putty on my PC into Ryerson's server and use the unix command 'lynx' to run my scripts (since they aren't blocking their own IPs).
I was having some success, until I tried to use the perl get method from an html form (I copy pasted a script from https://www.tutorialspoint.com/perl/perl_cgi.htm just to get started, to see if syntactically correct code would work properly with my lynx strategy).
So when I was working on my script using a terminal at the university (with google chrome), my scripts worked fine.
Ryerson (my university), doesn't have a remote access program set up (other than ssh), but is there a way to access my webpage through their servers on a GUI browser installed on my machine?
An SSH tunnel is most likely the most feasible and easiest way to do what you want. Set up the tunnel like this:
ssh -L8080:www2.scs.ryerson.ca:80 username#www2.scs.ryerson.ca
If the www2 server is not the host you SSH to, simply replace the second instance of it in the command with the SSH server.
I use port 8080 here, as that alleviates you from needing root privileges.
Now, on your local workstation, in your browser, browse to:
http://localhost:8080
I want to install a number of raspberry pis at remote locations and be able to log in to them remotely. (Will begin with 30-40 boxes and hopefully grow to 1000 individual raspberry pis soon.)
I need to be able to remotely manage these boxes. Going the easier route, forwarding a port on the router and setting a DHCP reservation, requires either IT support from the company we'll be doing the install for (many of which don't have IT), or it will require one of our IT people physically installing each box.
My tentative solution is to have each box create a reverse SSH tunnel to our server. My question is: How feasible would this be? How easy would it be to manage that many connections? Would it be an issue for a small local server to have 1000+ concurrent SSH connections? Is there an easier solution to this problem?
My end goal is to be able to ship someone a box, have them plug it in, and be able to access it.
Thanks,
w
An alternate solution would be to:
Install OpenVPN server on your server machine. How to install OpenVPN Server on the PI. Additionally, add firewall rules that block everything but traffic directed for the client's ssh and other services ports (if desired), from administrating machine(s).
Run OpenVPN clients on your Raspberry PI client machines. They will connect back to your VPN server. On a side note, the VPN server and administrating machine(s) need not be the same machine if resources are limited on the VPN server. How to install OpenVPN on the client Raspberry PIs.
SSH from administrating machine(s) to each client machine. Optionally, you could use RSA authentication to simplify authentication.
Benefits include encryption for the tunnel including ssh encryption for administrating, as well as being able to monitor other services on their respective ports.
I made a WebApp to manage this exact same setting in about 60 minutes with my java web template. All I can share are some scripts that I use to list the connection and info about them. You can use those to build your own app, it is really simple to display this in some fancy way in a fast web.
Take a look at my scripts: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/625771/332669
Those will allow you to get the listening port, as well as the public IPs they're binded from. With that you can easilly plan a system where everything is easilly identificable with a simple BBDD.

I am trying to follow this tutorial. To train the Mahout engine they mention to use the command:
http://localhost:8080/kornakapi/train?recommender=itembased
This works. However I want to open up the server so that I can run this remotely. The code is running on a server at a specified IP address, let's call it 999.999.9.999. When I try
http://999.999.9.999/kornakapi/train?recommender=itembased
I get a 404 error. Obviously the server isn't setup to accept incoming connections (though phpMyAdmin works remotely). How can I setup the server to allow an external connection in this manner?
You need to configure your gateway to accept incoming requests. Access your modem and search for a setting that allows one computer on your LAN to open up all its ports. You have to enter in the computer's local IP
I want to make my site available world wide. Im using xampp server for hosting. I have no access to any kind of servers and modems. Situation is shown below:
My site server has local ip assigned by wifi router and it runs Windows 8.
Remember I have no access on any kind of servers and modems so port port-forwarding is impossible (out of my scope).
Its actually difficult, but not impossible.
One way, I would approach this is:
I would host a page on internet.
Then take request and store it in database.
One of my program will always be running from my computer.
Then check for request and curl the request to localhost. For this you may use Node.js (taking data from database using GET method and curl it to localhost).
This is the best I could think of. And I am working on it, when the code is ready I'll make it open source and notify you :)
But still, it's difficult, as you need to put user's request to sleep for 2 seconds and then transferring it.
Its slow, but may work out for you.
Disadvantages:
Program will be very slow and memory usage will be more.
Breaking may happen many times.
High bandwidth wastage
If not encrypted, MIM (Men in Middle) may possible.
Advantages:
Indirect method of hosting
Need not to worry about your code being lost.
I am looking forward for a better alternative and I would like to keep this question for bounty once again.
If you cannot open the necessary ports within your LAN you will require access to an external server. However, the external server does not need to host any code, e.g.
Create a Linux based ec2 instance using Amazon's free tier.
Install a package to redirect remote to local ports:
a. using socat:
Install socat using your distributions package manager
Connect via SSH: ssh -N -R 42500:127.0.0.1:80 -o ServerAliveInterval=60 ubuntu#xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -N -R 8080:localhost:80 "socat TCP-LISTEN:8080,fork TCP:127.0.0.1:42500"
b. using a webserver and reverse proxy:
Install apache or nginx and any required reverse proxy modules and configure your VirtualHost to proxy requests to a local port, e.g. :8080 -> 127.0.0.1:42500
Connect via SSH: ssh -N -R 42500:127.0.0.1:80 -o ServerAliveInterval=60 ubuntu#xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Your machine is now reachable via the ec2 instance http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/.
I occasionally use this technique when debugging web service callbacks.
Update 17-02-2014
If you are a Windows user you will need to install a third-party tool to support ssh. Options include:
cygwin
git bash
PuTTY
PuTTY is the easiest choice if you are not familiar with *nix tools. To configure remote port forwarding in PuTTY expand the following setting: Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels. Given the previously described scenario, populate Source port as 42500, Desination as 127.0.0.1:80 and tick the Remote option. (You may also need to add the path to a PuTTY compatible private key in the Connection -> SSH -> Auth tab depending on your server configuration.
To test you have successfully forwarded a port, execute the command netstat -lnt on your server. You will see output similar to:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:42500 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
Finally you can test with curl http://127.0.0.1:42500. You will see the output of your own machines web root running on port 80.
if you don't have a public IP address and cannot use port forwarding it is impossible to host the site
As people have said you need a public IP address. However, even if you did you should not use xampp as a public server, as it is designed for development and therefore has some security settings disabled.
I would recommend buying some shared web hosting, and uploading it to that. (you can get cheap hosting if you google 'shared web hosting', plus free .tk domains are avaliable: http://www.dot.tk/)
Do your company has any vpn network?
If it does and you have access to the vpn network, you can include your server to the vpn network and your guest will only need to login to your company vpn network then access your site like in a local network without using port forwarding. And since your data is very confidential, I assume that using vpn will also help to increase the security of your data.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank You.
What you are asking is not possible without port forwarding.
Lets break it into steps.
To host your site locally you will need a IP that is static so that
users can access it specifically.
You will need a domain so that it can be converted into user friendly name.
A 24x7 Internet Connection is must! You added a Wifi Router in your Diagram and most of today's router are capable of port forwarding.
What i will do in your scenario is:
Instead of using XAMP, i will install WAMP because i am more familiar with it and easy to configure.(totally personal preference)
Then i would set my server "ONLINE".(Google how to set WAMP server online)
Forward port "80" from router settings to my local computer ip address.(mostly it is tagged as "Virtual Server","Firewall","Port Forwarding",etc vary router to router in settings)
Suppose you have a local ip "192.168.1.3" and global/router IP "254.232.123.232" then you would redirect all the HTTP request done towards router to your local IP.
[[[[254.232.123.232]]]] --+ :80 +-- --------->192.168.1.3
That is good for now, but then you will need to tackle dynamic IP problem of router. But don't worry, thanks to some free sites that will be easy!
Go to no-ip.org -> Setup Account -> and create a entry, just a subdomain for now to test whether everything is working fine.(subdomain like mysite.no-ip.org, later purchase a real Domain)
Input your IP address there(Router IP) and download its application which will automatically update their server if your local IP changes.
Wait for some minutes and Voila! Your site is live.
