How do I run my meteor code on two different devices in the same network (using IP address).
I have a chatApp which I would like to test on two diff devices.
In your host computer where you are running the meteor app check the IP address. In Windows use ipconfig, or in Linux-based OS use ifconfig
Meteor app usually runs in port 3000 unless you changed it.
In your "other" devices, enter the IP address including the port number of the host machine. Assuming your host's IP address is 192.168.0.101 and the port the app is running on is 3000, then it is http://192.168.0.101:3000

I created two Qt apps: one client and one server.
I use them to send some data for handle a remote device.
If I am in localhost I haven't issues about them, but when i search to connect them by internet i don't know how to find correct Ip server to connect Socket Client.
How i can find this ip node?
Is there a class to find It?
you cannot find it automatically, if this is what you're asking about.
In real life you would deploy your server on some publicly accessible host, give it a domain name (important part as your host can change the IP address at any time) and connect the client via the DNS domain.
However if you're just playing around and you want to show to the world that your app works, specifying the IP address of the server in your client code would be perfectly fine (assuming you're running both the server and the client in the same network).
In that case, if you're running mac/linux run the command ifconfig (or just ip depending on the distribution). On Windows you can run the command ipconfig. Both windows and linux will give you a similar output resembling this:
Pay attention to the network adapters. There can potentially be many of them. You may have some emulated adapters if you have docker or VMWare, you may have the wireless adapters if you have a WiFi card, and then the ethernet adapters if your computer can connect to the the internet with an ethernet cable. Each of these adapters specifies a different IPv4 address. You want to pick the one that is connected to the same network as your client. So for instance if both your server machine and your client running machine are connected to the same wifi, you pick the address from the Wireless LAN adapter
I want to set up an exported VM on an Ubuntu Server using VirtualBox on headless mode.
I have the VM up and running and bridged with the ethernet interface of the host (em1), so the dhcp of the host should now assign an IP to the VM if I'm not mistaken.
Is there a way to check if this is working and if yes to get the VM's IP?
Since this is on headless mode so without GUI, the only way to login to the VM is through ssh and for that I need the IP..
welthenwel,
you can do this with VBoxManage.
from a shell, just type:
VBoxManage guestproperty enumerate VM_NAME --pattern */IP
and you will get as response something like in the below image.
now, ignore the fact that I run this cmd from a Windows host, because its behaves exactly the same from inside a linux host
I'm not very familiar with VirtualBox. Bridged with VMWare Workstation meant the IP is given by your default DHCP server, which means you could look up the assigned IP address there (e.g. your router - if you have access to it).
Another option would be a ping sweep of your network segment as I believe Ubuntu doesn't drop ICMP requests.
Trying to connect to localhost on my development machine with my iPad using wifi.
The webserver integrated in Visual studio.
Using ip number I get from ipconfig.
192.168.1.84:1144
I'm receiving http 400 error.
I've added port 1144 as TCP/IP port on firewall.
Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong?
does your machine have a static IP? with DHCP enabled, the ip of your machine keeps changing every now and then, so it might be the case that the address provided is no longer available!!
disconnect and reconnect to your network, then run ipconfig again and check if the IP has changed, if it has, then DHCP is enabled...
I can access the app using localhost:3000 but I am trying to test from mobile devices locally, without having to deploy it. But I couldn't access the site.
I am allowing incoming request:
sudo ufw status verbose
Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: allow (incoming), allow (outgoing)
New profiles: skip

I found that my ip address is 128.84.125.239 and so I visit 128.84.125.239:3000 and nothing happens.
This turned out to be an issue of using the right IP, or configuring the NAT of the router appropriately. Using a service such as cmyip.com will only provide you with your external IP address. This address can only reach your meteor app if your router is configured accordingly, i.e., the router will forward requests on port 3000 (or whichever port you are running your app on) to your server.
For testing on a mobile device during development you are most likely best off using your internal IP address, assuming your mobile device is on the same network as your app-serving machine.
On Linux you can use ifconfig to get your internal IPs. If you are connected via ethernet then you'll be looking for the device eth0 (in most cases). If you are connected over wifi, then the device you are looking for is typically called wlan0.
On Mac OSX you can use ifconfig as well, and look for devices called enX, where X is a number (often 0, or 2).
Your service is probably only running locally (on local ports, 127.0.0.0/8), To confirm this, run netstat -tulpn to see what services are running and on what ports/interfaces. If you don't see 0.0.0.0:3000 or 128.84.125.239:3000 then you won't be able to get ti it from the IP you are trying and you need to change the bind address of your app to be that IP (or all interaces).
I have a host laptop running Debian, and a client VM running Debian. On the client, I run NGINX, and it serves up a complex web application with several hostnames (e.g. www.host, api.host, blog.host). The laptop moves between several different networks, with a seemingly ever-changing IP address.
I'm trying to meet the following conditions with this VM:
The IP address of the client shouldn't change (e.g. always 192.168.10.10)
With a static IP, I could edit the host /etc/hosts file and keep complex hostnames
The client should have access to the Internet
No other machines need to access the client
What is the best way to set up the Attached to settings for this client?
To do this, simply add two network interfaces to the box.
The first interface will use Host-Only, and that is how your host can connect to the client. This will create an additional network adapter on the host.
The second interface will use NAT, and that is the gateway to the internet. This will create an additional network adapter on the client.
If you've already got a client running, you'll need to get the next network adapter up and running by executing sudo ifconfig eth1 up and to get an IP address, run sudo dhclient eth1.
