I need to open a web browser on the host machine. I am given a private IP address after installing software on a Red Hat Enterprise 7.9 Linux server.
Here are the steps I have taken so far:
- SSH into server using a 'SSH name@serverAddress'
- I follow the instructions and install Redis Enterprise for Red Hat
Enterprise 7.9
- It is a success and gives me the following instructions inside the
Linux terminal where I installed the software.
[!] Please logout and login again to make sure all environment changes are applied.
[!] Point your browser at the following URL to continue:
[!] https://privateIpAddress:8443
I would now like to follow these instructions. Where do I go to open this browser?
If you would like the full instructions, they can be found here.
I am on step 2: set up a cluster.
https://docs.redislabs.com/latest/rs/getting-started/
My current thoughts (very possible they are wrong):
I return to where the terminal where I originally SSH into the Linux box and type some command. Possibly something like
ssh -L 127.0.0.1:80:intra.example.com:80 gw.example.com
But I do not know what the exact command would be.
Or I do something inside the actual Linux server to open the browser.
I believe the answer is extremely easy and it is escaping me. Otherwise, they would have noted something to the instructions.
once again, the information I have is:
- SSH name@myserveraddress
- and now a private IP:
- https://privateIpAddress:8443
And this obviously does not open on a browser on my local machine.
Let me know if I need to give any more information. Thanks
