create a tunnel to linux guest

  • 1.  create a tunnel to linux guest

    Posted Mar 27, 2020 12:56 PM

    using vmware workstation 15.5.2 on windows and having a ubuntu linux guest

    all operations are possible - but I am not system/network skilled, but database administrator..

    i use mobaxterm to connect to this guest and execute all I need

    I am running a db2 database at this guest

    now I want to implement jupyter, that uses a db connection but this ubuntu is a server and has no browser/graphical interface installed

    I need todo this from my windows host and windows browser

    I implemented all soft as needed and configured in guest

    it is indicated to start the jupyter notebook - but you need ssh tunnel todo this

    the local application in server "ubuntu" is listening on port 8888

    I want to start a browser on my windows host to this server/port to open jupyter

    there are so many pages with ssh tunnels for mobaxterm, by they need a ssh server/jump host

    is this also needed for vmware guests ?

    any link to a doc that could help me to connect from browser to guest because I need to execute in browser something similar to

    http://localhost:8888/?token=7bd20c86e66bbdf0cfb2373f0b991c3d699866fd8abe4721

    and this would need to establish a connection to my guest on port 8888

    I verified the LISTEN status=ok and ping from windows host=ok

    thanks for all update/help
