How to Access ArangoDB Web Interface on Your Guest Machine: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you've installed ArangoDB on an Ubuntu guest machine and you're eager to access its web interface, you're in the right place! The web interface provides a user-friendly way to manage your databases and collections, but first, you need to set it up correctly. In this guide, we'll walk you through the necessary steps to access the ArangoDB web interface using your host machine's browser, connecting through the specific IP address.

Understanding the Problem

Suppose you have a guest machine with the IP address 192.168.10.10 where ArangoDB is running. You may want to manage your databases directly from your host machine by navigating to 192.168.10.10:8529. However, to achieve that, you need to configure ArangoDB to accept connections from your host machine. Fortunately, the solution is straightforward and can be done in just a few simple steps.

Solution: Configuring ArangoDB for Remote Access

You should be greeted by the ArangoDB web interface where you can log in and start managing your databases!

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can successfully access the ArangoDB web interface from your host machine. Ensuring that your configuration allows for remote connections is key to managing your databases seamlessly. Now you can take full advantage of ArangoDB without any hassle. If you encounter any issues, double-check your endpoint configuration or firewall settings, as they might affect accessibility.
