I have an Ubuntu server where i currently have a number of scripts automated with cron. I would like to move to Apache Airflow. I have some experience with Airflow using it locally. My question is if i can setup airflow on the Ubuntu server but access the web server on my local windows 10 desktop. If so - how do you do that? Would I use port forwarding?
Thx!
Matthew, I dont know if you still in doubt, but, I guess its a matter of port forwarding
On your ubuntu server execute airflow normally, like:
airflow webserver -p 8080
Airflow will tell you what is the address that its running (usually http://0.0.0.0/8080)
After that, on you windows 10's prompt execute the folling command:
ssh -N -f -L localhost:<local port>:localhost:<remoteport> <user>@<remote server address> -p <server port>
Hope it helped you :D
Load airflow webserver with hostname 0.0.0.0. For example:
airflow webserver --port 8080 --hostname 0.0.0.0
Then point your browser to your remote server IP with port specified:
http://123.123.123.123:8080
Remember to check your firewall and or security group allows port 8080.
