How to access multiple Jumpboxes through routerSubmitted by sddawson on Thu, 04/10/2008 - 5:00am.New to jumpbox, and I've successfully tried Wordpress. I'm very interested in running multiple jumpboxes simultaneously (Wordpress and Joomla for a start) but am wondering how these can be accessed from the "outside world". As far as I can see, each virtual machine is running its own web server on port 80. I have to make a decision as to which machine to forward port 80 to in my router, and that immediately disables access to any other machines. Don't really want to have separate ports for each machine, since people accessing the sites won't want to put :81, :82 etc. behind the site addresses. By the way, I expect each system will have its own domain name if that helps. How do people accomplish this? Thanks. |

Use a proxy
You could use a proxy server to handle that. Forward port 80 to the proxy then configure /wordpress to proxy to the wordpress instance and /joomla to the joomla instance. You can use whatever paths you want and also put one on the root. Setting that up would be a little effort but will work.

Thanks, Kimbro. Never used a proxy server. I suppose it accepts all "web" requests and, based on the web site requested (xxx.com/joomla etc.) redirects to another server. Am I correct? Then I have to find somewhere to run the proxy (another virtual machine?).
