you need to set --host option (IP address doesn’t work as I recently checked) or configure reverse proxy for localhost:8000 that binds to 0.0.0.0 and uses your preferred port

The below solution worked. Thank you <@U05JENRCF7C> :thank-you:

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

<@U05JENRCF7C> maybe you can help with this one as well?

I’ve provided the email and took the password from abctl local credentials
but it says invalid password. And now uninstalling and installing it back doesn’t ask for email.

Is there a way to reset the email? Is it stored in some volume that persists?

abctl creates structure like in ~/.airbyte folder

└─── abctl
    ├── abctl.kubeconfig
    └── data
        ├── airbyte-minio-pv
        └── airbyte-volume-db```
and to completely remove data, it is necessary to pass `--persisted` option to `abctl local uninstall`
```Uninstall Airbyte locally

Usage:
  abctl local uninstall [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help        help for uninstall
      --persisted   remove persisted data```
