Can't access OpenStack's Horizon dashboard on 8000 from outside

I am using the dashboard on port 8000 using the python manage.py runserver command because the problem showed here

On localhost it works, but if I try to access it from outside, it doesn't work. Why?

This is my situation:

  • Guest machine with ubuntu and OpenStack at address 10.0.2.15 with NAT networking
  • Host machine with windows and VirtualBox
  • Port forwarding done on virtualbox to 10.0.2.15:8000 (it works for others ports but not for 8000)
Solution

  • Horizon is a Django app, and the django runserver command binds only to localhost by default. If you want it to be accessible from outside, do:

    python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
