Question about reaching a VM installed on same server.

[worksmarter]

This question may or may not belong here, but since I have been forced to reinstall due to a strange unidentifiable bug, now is the time.

My setup and predicament.

I am running CentOS 6.8 (OpenZV kernel) for the host server that is currently running the Sentora installer on it. OpenVZ's kernel is installed and I have one virtual machine to install for running nextcloud (it is actually backed up ready to be dropped back into a new container when I get to it after getting rolling with the native Sentora install.)

My question is simple and I hope ties into my Sentora install. Of course all of the Sentora domains and websites perform as expected on the CentOS 6.8 OpenVz host. What I need to figure out is how to contact the subdomain that contains nextcloud in a CentOS 6.8 container. There is lots of info on the net about OpenVZ containers and Internet connections, but I had no luck with any of it and keep thinking I should be able to adjust one of the virtual host files that I might be able to change from inside Sentora to point the proper subdomain so I can have two way traffic to the nextcloud server.

This may not be a question for Sentora - I am unsure, but I wonder if anyone can guide me as I am pulling my hair out basically due to the fact that there are so many variables and directions one could go though to accomplish this that I have become thoroughly confused!
Thanks in advance.

You can setup a port forwarding if you don't have different ip's for each.

you can use iptables. But if you want to have the aplication in the second container exposed to port 80 you will likely end up setting a proxy forwarding from apache to the mapped port for the container.

Hope you understood me.

Yes I do understand. Thanks so much for giving me direction. There are so many ways I could think of to try I was hoping to have someone help narrow my options. Many thanks M B.
