[FIXED] Unable access Jupyter lab from Google Deep Learning VM

Issue

I am trying to open Jupyter Lab after installing Google Deep learning VM.

This code i am running in SSH terminal in browser:

export PROJECT_ID="name"
export ZONE="us-west1-b"
export INSTANCE_NAME="tensorflow-1-vm"
gcloud compute ssh --project $PROJECT_ID --zone $ZONE \
  $INSTANCE_NAME -- -L 8080:localhost:8080

I always get same mistake and cannot access to http://localhost:8080/ :

bind: Address already in use
channel_setup_fwd_listener_tcpip: cannot listen to port: 8080
Could not request local forwarding.

Could you please tell me what am i doing wrong? Thank you!

Solution

Make sure your instance has firewall rules configure to allow http/https egress protocol along and the instance have a public IP.
