Access umbrel on local network on a VM

Support and Troubleshooting
1

Just to try it out, I downloaded Umbrel on Debian on a Mac using Virtualbox. However, I can’t access umbrel on my local network. How can I do this? I also plan on moving Umbrel to ubuntu server soon, so how do I access it like that? Thanks!

This is how I got Umbrel working with Ubuntu server:

  1. Install Ubuntu server 22.04 LTS
  2. Run the Umbrel install script: curl -L https://umbrel.sh | bash
  3. Access Umbrel via a browser by visiting the IP address of the server

When running on virtual box are you able to open umbrel in the VM browser? I am wondering if the issue lies in umbrel itself or how Virtual box is handling the connection to your local network.

I moved to Ubuntu Server, and I found out that I had to change the internet connection from NAT to Bridged Adapter inside of Virtualbox. This is working for now.
