Can't access jupyter notebook in local vagrant virtualbox via local browser

Question

As the title described. I already set the Vagrantfile with:

config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8888, host: 8888, auto_correct: true

and also set the jupyter_notebook_config.py as:

c.NotebookApp.port = 8888

When I activate the notebook in vagrant virtualbox the displayed info was normal:

But local browser (Safari) can't access to it by any means.

This might be a better question for serverfault.com – RightHandedMonkey Dec 01 '17 at 16:36 — RightHandedMonkey, Dec 01 '17 at 16:36

I stumbled on a issue that seems similar. Here is what solved it for me:

In the Vagrantfile, I added:

config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"
From the vagrant virtual machine start jupyter notebook with:

jupyter notebook --no-browser --ip 0.0.0.0
Or in the browser of the host access jupyter via 192.168.33.10:8888

Thank you! I am running Ubuntu server in a local virtual box vm, and the " jupyter notebook --no-browser --ip 0.0.0.0" worked for me! – Bjørn Otto Vasbotten Jan 20 '20 at 22:16

Your issue is that the server is listening on localhost in the VM so it is only available within the VM.

If you want the server to be available from your host, you should bind the ip to 0.0.0.0

see this thread to understand the differences

Adding the following in your config will do the trick

c.NotebookApp.ip = '0.0.0.0'
