Link services to local ports

Requirements

  • User needs to have an account on server2.
  • SSH server must be running on server2

To link a port from the service machine (server2) to the local port on the user workspace. You can use ssh local port forwarding technique.

1. Step:

Go to the user workspace, on which you want to map from localhost to the services machine

  • e.g. foo.com/user1

2. Step:

Open a terminal in your user workspace. Open terminal in user workspace

3. Step:

Run the following command to map a port:

1
ssh -fNT -L <local_port>:<destination>:<destination_port> <user>@<services.server.com>

Here's an example mapping the RabbitMQ broker service available at 5672 of services.foo.com to localhost port 5672.

1
ssh -fNT -L 5672:localhost:5672 vagrant@services.foo.com

Now the programs in user workspace can treat the RabbitMQ broker service as a local service running within user workspace.
