cockpit default port

Hi!
im playing around with bazzite again, looked around that i can use cockpit-client on the same machine and instantly get a cockpit interface.
now to my question: i do still have a windows machine from where i want to check this cockpit instance from time to time. the default port of 9090 sadly is not in use.
how can i connect to it (from the same network) but from a windows device?

i dont use cockpit myself so im not familiar with it, all i know is we dont use the port 9090 and we dont do anything special

Tsubajashi (ツバジャシ)OP•1/9/25, 2:23 PM

its not possible via localhost:9090 / 127.0.0.1:9090 on the same device
and via tailscale it doesnt work either

bottom is chrome on the windows machine, trying to resolve it via tailscale
top is the firefox browser from within bazzite
cockpit client is in the same bazzite machine, works

Did you open the port in your firewall?

Bloodfire•1/9/25, 4:47 PM

firewall-cmd --list-all

firewall-cmd --list-all

Bloodfire•1/9/25, 4:48 PM

if it's not open:

firewall-cmd --add-port=9090/tcp --permanent

firewall-cmd --add-port=9090/tcp --permanent

BBloodfire Did you open the port in your firewall?

ports over 1024 should be open by default, its a fedora default

Bloodfire•1/9/25, 7:17 PM

I had to open up any ports I needed... including 7860, and 7860 > 1024 so...
though tbf I have custom firewall rules, so probably not a fair comparison. I guess it depends on if they're using the FedoraWorkstation zone or not, if that's not the active zone then they have to open the port. Once again, easy way to tell using the first command I listed above...

your screenshot shows that you used port 7070 instead of 9090 for 127.0.0.1
The IP used for the other section of the screenshot does not match a private IP, but rather a public IP.
You need to use your private IP or apply port forwarding through your router (hella unsafe, do not recommend).
