How access to localhost:4200 running on ec2 instance-CodePudding

On my EC2 I have loaded a python script running a prefect flow and I want to access to the UI from a web browser. This UI is running on localhost:4200.

[ec2-user@ip-xxxx-xx-xx-xx ~]$ prefect orion start 

 ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ _____    ___  ___ ___ ___  _  _
| _ \ _ \ __| __| __/ __|_   _|  / _ \| _ \_ _/ _ \| \| |
|  _/   / _|| _|| _| (__  | |   | (_) |   /| | (_) | .` |
|_| |_|_\___|_| |___\___| |_|    \___/|_|_\___\___/|_|\_|

Configure Prefect to communicate with the server with:

    prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:4200/api

View the API reference documentation at http://127.0.0.1:4200/docs

Check out the dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:4200

To this end I have create an inbound security:

I have tried to access it with chrome with the url : https://ec2-x-xxx-xxx-xx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:4200 (<EC2-IP:Port>)

But I have the following error in the chrome tab :

"This website can't be reached ec2-x-xxx-xx-xx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com doesn't authorize the connection."

In another terminal connect to my instance i can curl the localhost:

[ec2-user@ip-xxx-xx-xx-xx ~]$ curl http://127.0.0.1:4200

EDIT: With the suggestion of @Jayce, I bind the prefect IP to 0.0.0.0 in order to access It from the web export PREFECT_ORION_API_HOST=0.0.0.0

I can now connect to the UI running on my instance:

But in this configuration prefect don't retrieve the flow I have started on the EC2. I need to also change the prefect api path: export PREFECT_API_URL="http://x.xxx.xxx.xx:4200/api"

CodePudding user response：

You must bind to 0.0.0.0 ip not 127.0.0.1 like default if you want access it from network.

I never used prefect, but from it's document, you can try this command to change bind ip:

export PREFECT_ORION_API_HOST=0.0.0.0

CodePudding user response：

Use the public IP address

http://<public_ip>:4200/
