How to access localhost on virtualbox archlinux guest machine from macOS host?
I need to be able to access localhost from host machine (macOS) on Arch server (guest virtualbox machine).
I was able to edit /etc/hosts to access localhost on guest machine via IP:port on browser on host. However, the webapp was configured in such a way that only by passing localhost as the domain will it be able to access all resources on the server.
I turn the Network adapter on Virtualbox to be Bridged Adapter
To illustrate what I meant, :
Host IP: 10.0.0.1/24
Guest IP: 10.0.0.2/24
Default gateway: 10.0.0.24/24
From browser on Host : I can access Guest by typing 10.0.0.2:1234 in browser.
What I want is to be able to type localhost:1234 in the Host browser and still can access Guest localhost.
How may I do that?
Details:
Host : macOS Sierra
Guest: Arch 4.20.10
arch-linux osx virtualbox

It sounds like you want to set up some sort of tunnel from port 1234 on the macOS system to the guest machine's port 1234.localhostwill always be the machine that the browser is running on.
