Summary

User is facing nginx 404 Not Found error when trying to expose Airbyte instance on an old MacBook using abctl. Suspects the issue is due to the webapp being bound to localhost. Seeking advice from others who have attempted a similar deployment.


Question

Hey everyone! I am trying to install airbyte locally on an old macbook using abctl and then exposing the instance to the public by port forwarding on my router. When I try this I get nginx 404 Not Found error in the browser, I think this is because with abctl the webapp is bound to localhost. I have zero networking experience and wanted to see if anyone else has tried this sort of hacky airbyte deployment and succeeded.

Correct. By default, abctl only allows traffic from localhost. You can add another hostname to allow by using the --host flag, but at the moment you need a DNS name (i.e. an IP address won’t work. We’re discussing how best to make public IP addresses work).

Thank you Alex, I will try installing with a DNS name.
