How to access Airbyte on EC2 from local desktop browser without using FQDN


Question

Hello, I am testing out airbyte on EC2. Everything seemed to have installed successfully with abctl except that it only accepts localhost as documented. How do I access airbyte from local desktop browser and test it out without having to add FQDN to it? We don’t necessarily want to add FQDN for testing.

Few ideas:
1)
abctl has --host option
--host string ingress http host (default "localhost")

abctl local install --host airbyte.local
then to /etc/hosts
you need to add x.x.x.x airbyte.local where x.x.x.x is IP of your EC2 instance (public or private accessible via VPN if you have that kind of setup) and incoming traffic to port 8000 is allowed

  1. install ngrok https://ngrok.com/ inside EC2 machine and run
    ngrok http 8000

  2. SSH tunneling https://www.ssh.com/academy/ssh/tunneling-example
