Hello Is it possible to run `flytectl demo start` on a VSI v

Question

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 ` lt public ip gt 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 ` lt public ip gt 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 pray

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

Björn · Answer

If you have a firewall blocking in between you can set up ssh tunneling to forward the traffic from ports on your workstation to the server with something like `ssh L 30080 127 0 0 1 30080 L 30002 127 0 0 1 30002 L 30000 127 0 0 1 30000 user server address` and then connect to `<http localhost 30080>` on your workstation

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 < Björn>

Choenden Kyirong · Answer

so spinning it up via `flytectl demo start` still not accessible from my local workstation < Björn> Going to try the tunnelling but showing this screenshot from within the server for clarity

Choenden Kyirong · Answer

i have label studio up and running as well but on different ports The label studio instance is working and accessible from my workstation

Björn · Answer

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

Björn · Answer

It is possible to manually start up the demo container so that is uses port 8080 instead but it s an incomplete solution

Choenden Kyirong · Answer

yeah the tunnelling didin t have an effect disappointed hmmm so odd unless im missing something vital not entirely sure confused

Björn · Answer

are you running tunneling from your workstation to the server

Choenden Kyirong · Answer

ohhh actually it reached

Choenden Kyirong · Answer

does that imply there is something going on in between firewall < Björn> Also is this a new home page for the flytectl demo or is there some sort of error despite it reaching

Björn · Answer

That looks like an error

Björn · Answer

shouldn t it be <http localhost 30080> in the address bar or is that hidden in your browser

Choenden Kyirong · Answer

it s hidden in the browser

Björn · Answer

aha ok slightly smiling face

Björn · Answer

don t know that browser but normally you can open up a developer console by pressing f12 and check error messages and network connectivity there

Choenden Kyirong · Answer

< Björn> 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

Björn · Answer

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

Choenden Kyirong · Answer

Björn · Answer

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

Choenden Kyirong · Answer
