How to do port forwarding on VMWare Player 14.1.2 (Ubuntu 18.04 guest, Windows 10 host)?

问题


I have a VMWare Player (14.1.2 build-8497320) running a Ubuntu 18.04 guest on a Windows 10 host. The Ubuntu guest has a LAMP stack that runs a few web applications. I am using NAT to connect the Ubuntu guest to the Windows host's network.

I can access these applications by using the local IP address of the guest (e.g., http://192.168.80.128/mediawiki) from my Windows host. But I want to access it like so from my Windows host: http://localhost/mediawiki. I think this should be possible if I can forward the port 80 of my Ubuntu guest to that of the Windows host.

How do I make this happen please? I don't have access to VMWare Workstation and its Virtual Network Editor.

Edit: I should probably add the motivation for wanting to do this. Basically, I want to avoid figuring out the IP address of the virtual machine everytime I access the web applications.

The (further) reason is that the local IP address of the Ubuntu guest might (I suspect) change, and that will affect quite a few things, such as the base URLs configured in the webapps' configuration files (e.g., the $wgServer variable in LocalSettings.php of MediaWiki).


回答1:


You can do it using SSH Tunneling for example.
From windows you open a tunnel from the windows port 80 to the ubuntu port 80.
You can do it using Putty on Windows and having the ssh deamon running on ubuntu, which I guess you should already have.

There are many tutorials on how to do this. I'll add just one link, but you can always google it and find one that suites you.

Portforwarding with SSH (Putty)

For the possible changes in the guest’s ip:

If you can’t fix the ip in settings then perhaps you can edit the windows hosts file and add a host name for the current Ubuntu ip. Then build the urls using the host name. If the ip changes you change it in the hosts file.

VMWare Player supports port forwarding over NAT natively:

In the file C:\ProgramData\VMware\vmnetnat.conf put under section [incomingtcp] a line like:

80 = 192.168.80.128:80

Then restart the VMWare NAT Service :

net stop "VMWare NAT Service"
net start "VMWare NAT Service"
