Getting Kibana on Host

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello, I'm trying to get Kibana to run on my host
I have it running on my VMware server and I connect it via console.
I am using NGINX and got all the settings configured according to multiple tutorials.
For some reason I cannot use my host machine to connect to the Kibana web interface.
When I try to curl it it gives refused connection. I have all the ports needed open and have no idea of what else to try.
Any tips?

you see 127.0.0.1:5601 is connected on local address but not foreign which I assume would be the host.

That is the loopback interface, so can only be reached from within the host. You will need to change the kibana.yml file to make it bind to an external IP or 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces).

4

that's already been done.
I have tried using 0.0.0.0 and my actual IP from ipconfig.
I honestly have tried everything that I could find online.

5

But that is not Kibana listening on 0.0.0.0:5601.

I changed the network.host to 0.0.0.0 from my IP. This is the new list on netstat

I just tried to connect to the VM IP and a security warning popped up. I proceeded and it asked me for credentials. I entered them and it gave 403 fobidden nginx/1.14.0(ubuntu)

8

Seems to be a problem with nginx then?

9

but why is it only connecting through the VM's IP? surely it should be the one I specified which is the hosts IP

10

Well nvm, I just went back to the tab and Kibana loaded, I didn't change anything or do anything. Just took a snapshot of the VM. Well....welll....well
