Default CKAN 2.9 install on Pi not visible from network - python

I am trying to install CKAN on a raspberry pi using the instructions found here. The RPi is running the latest Raspberry Pi OS (w/desktop / January 11th 2021 / Kernel 5.4) All is successful and CKAN seems to function normally when viewed on the local machine, but any attempt to access CKAN from other machines on the network get Connection Refused. Is CKAN blocking requests from external machines by default, and if so how do I change this? Both jetty and solr are accessible from external machines, and I don't have a firewall in between these machines.
Many thanks for your help.

This was solved by passing a host and port variable when running the ckan server. Adding -H 0.0.0.0 to the run command enabled listening on all interfaces.

Can I install Python, Django and other packages on a USB device and and run a server from this USB?

I would like to have a Django server on a Windows machine which is not connected to Internet.
For that, would it be possible to install, from another Windows machine connected to Internet, Python, PyCharm, Django and other packages to a USB device that I will then connect to the other Windows machine in order to start the application ?
Would it work without problems ?
Thanks !

Send command to MacBook Terminal from Pycharm installed on virtual Windows

Background:
Through VMWare Fusion installed on my MacBook, I have Windows installed virtually in the VMWare Fusion environment. On the Windows, I have Pycharm IDE through which I run automated python program to control bench instruments from Keysight and Techroniks. No issues.
PS- The instrument drivers are available only for Windows, thats the reason I am using Windows virtually on MacBook
Question:
From Pycharm (installed on virtual Windows), I would like to send any command (say, print Hello World) to the Terminal of the MacBook.
How to do this and what would be the command syntax (or package needed)?
There is no single package to do this.
At a minimum, your Mac host would need to run a server process. Then the VM would need to be on a host network bridge such that it is remotely addressable. Then, you can write a client that sends RPC requests to the host's server process.
At a low-level, you can use socket library, but you may want something higher level like httpserver.

The other option without external dependencies would be to communicate over a file-system share.
If you want to install external software, then you can introduce a remote message queue or database.

Trying to access ipython notebook running on virtual machine

I would really appreciate some help here, basically I'm learning to use tensorflow, I've decided that the easiest way to go about this would be to install ubuntu on either VMware and/or Virtualbox and then access the ipython notebook (came with anaconda) through the browser on the host computer.
I have successfully installed both vmware and virtualbox, I downloaded a ubuntu image and also successfully installed anaconda on both, I get it to work without a problem on both VMs and even installed tensorflow.
Some research online on how to expose the ipython to the host machine suggested port forwarding or ssh tunneling, none of these have worked (very likely I'm doing it wrong). Can someone please help? think of me as a newbie.
Generally you must edit the jupyter configuration file to allow network access to the notebook server. See this link: http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.org/en/latest/public_server.html for details. (Even if it is not a "public" server, you still intend to access the notebook server living in the VM from the host machine via a network connection...)
Here is a quotation from the linked documentation that indicates by default, you can only access the notebook via the localhost.
By default, a notebook server runs locally at 127.0.0.1:8888 and is accessible only from localhost. You may access the notebook server from the browser using http://127.0.0.1:8888.

Pycharm 4.5.3 remote console 'cannot connect to remote process'

Starting today for no discernible reason, Pycharm's remote console function will not connect with my remote server.
All other functions are working as normal, SSH session, deployment config, skeletons update, file sync etc.
I am running Pycharm 4.5.3 on Windows7x64 against a remote server running Centos6.5x64 on AWS, note that this setup has been working fine for months until today.
The following output appears in the console window when remote console is launched, it takes a minute or so to timeout:
sftp://user#FQDN:22/home/user/Envs/lab1/bin/python2.7 -u /home/user/.pycharm_helpers/pydev/pydevconsole.py 0 0
Couldn't connect to console process.
Process finished with exit code -1
Unhelpful Log output(C:\Users\user\.PyCharm40\system\log\idea.txt):
2015-07-09 17:15:07,910 [ 236325] INFO - esdk.transport.JschExecProcess - Executing ssh command: env "PYTHONIOENCODING"="UTF-8" "JETBRAINS_REMOTE_RUN"="1" "IPYTHONENABLE"="True" "PYTHONUNBUFFERED"="1" /home/user/Envs/lab1/bin/python2.7 -u /home/user/.pycharm_helpers/pydev/pydevconsole.py 0 0 for user#FQDN:22
The following troubleshooting steps have yielded nothing: Workstation / Server, reboot, Fresh Virtualenv, Different version of Python, reinstall of iPython, uninstall of iPython, reset of console / deployment configuration, connecting from a different workstation running same version of Pycharm, upgrade Pycharm from 4.5.2 to 4.5.3.
Suggestions for further troubleshooting steps gladly welcome while I wait for Jetbrains support to get around to my ticket!
The problem was within the security configuration on AWS.
My AWS instance has a friendly FQDN to go with the unfriendly AWS internal name, which appears to cause some havoc with the way their NAT works if you don't have a rule allowing traffic from the IP bound to the FQDN back into the server.
I created the issue yesterday when my office router reset to a new IP - I must've overwritten the recursive rule with the rule allowing my new office IP into the instance.
So, add a rule allowing the server public IP for all traffic and Pycharm connects again when pointed at the FQDN.

Django tutorial: problems accessing development server

I am going through the Django tutorial and am running into problems when trying to view my webpage. I am at the very beginning of the tutorial when I first run the command python manage.py runserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000 (replace the x's with my remote server's IP). When I try to navigate to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000 on my local machine, Chrome gives me the error ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. I have also tried running the server on 0.0.0.0:8000 and the same issue persists. The port is definitely open and there are no firewalls blocking it - when I plug in my IP and 8000 into this site it claims it is open: http://ping.eu/port-chk/.
I get no error messages on my console from the Django side of things. What could be causing this error? I really don't know much about servers or ports. Thanks in advance.
I am on a virtual Linux server running CentOS 6.4. My local machine is running Mac OS 10.9.5
EDIT:
When I run netstat --listen, port 8000 doesn't show up in the Local Address column, even though my Django dev server claims to be running. Someone mentioned to me that this means my application is not listening on this port. What does this mean and how do I remedy it?
EDIT:
I can access the page through my phone's internet with no issues. What gives?
If you're running Django inside a VM but accessing it from the host Mac, you'll need to forward the port. See the settings in Virtualbox/VMWare/whatever.
Note however that Django runs perfectly well directly on a Mac, so if you're just learning it may be simpler to just install it there.
Don't issue no IP, runserver will tell you where you can connect to when launching it.
Since you're launching it from your VM, you might supply the IP.
Ensure system level routing is okay.
Add your host local IP to the ALLOWED_HOSTS setting.
