Hey,

As part of my project at college - I need to make visible data analytics on an IP address or URL that can be accessed by anybody in college. Clearly, Kibana doesn't allow this - since it can only be accessed on the machine it is hosted.

Any way I can give it a public IP or do something else to make the visualizations accessible by another computer?

You can bind Kibana to any IP address/port that you'd like, you just need to set the port and host in the config/kibana.yml: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-server-properties.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-server-properties.html)

I recommend taking a look at "Using Kibana in Production" as well: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/production.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/production.html)
