Hello! Is it possible to run

flytectl demo start

on a VSI (virtual server instance) and be able to reach the UI from the public using the public ip of the server? For example:

<public_ip>:30080/console

. I’ve tried this and the demo is running from within the server but i cant seem to reach it from my own browser- do i need to setup a reverse proxy or do something else? I try to navigate to:

<public_ip>:30080/console

and nothing ends up loading despite the demo/sandbox running properly. I also curled the localhost:30080/console from inside the server and I get the html response back. Any sort of help or feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks!! 🙏

I'm pretty sure the demo cluster starts up listening to external addresses as well. You can verify this by typing

docker ps

or

ss -tlpn

and see the 0.0.0.0 address for port 30080

hmmm ok! I’m going to spin up the demo on the remote server again right now and test/try to access it from my workstation. @quick-salesclerk-18019

Weird... 😕 Not unusual that firewalls are opened for port 22,80,443,8080 and not much else however.

yeah…the tunnelling didin’t have an effect 😞 hmmm…so odd, unless im missing something vital- not entirely sure 😕

are you running tunneling from your workstation to the server?

ohhh, actually it reached.

That looks like an error

it’s hidden in the browser!

aha, ok 🙂

@quick-salesclerk-18019 seems like it failed to fetch some data. I wonder if it’s a files/directory issue if there is some volume mounting going on. I could be off here but i ran into this when running label studio via docker compose since docker automatically creates mounted volumes as

root

despite using a different user. if the demo does this as well, could be an issue with not having permissions for some files or folders that are created/mounted via demo start. Not sure though.

It fails to load /me for me as well, but it still works...

ahh okay.

maybe open in incognito mode just to check nothing cached is messing with the browser? Or try another browser? grasping at straws here ^_^

@quick-salesclerk-18019 nope. didint work haha. damn…when i click that login button from the screenshot above it goes to an empty page that says “Not found”.

I came across this screen too, a few times. But reloading the page resolved the issue for me. cc @late-eye-50215

@tall-lock-23197 hmmm…reloading not working. It seems like @millions-table-8574 has a similar issue actually based on his screen shot. I have that same screen. https://flyte-org.slack.com/archives/C01P3B761A6/p1679044302062839

I'm seeing this to after upgrading to flyteconsole

>=1.4.8

Created an issue to track it: https://github.com/flyteorg/flyte/issues/3485
