_Note: Now that you have configured your router to forward port 80 (optionally also 443 for https) to the virtual machine, you will need to make sure that the machine's IP doesn't change too often. The easiest way of achieving this is to check the router's DHCP settings and to set leases for the longest time period the router allows - e.g. three weeks. But that still means that your Friendica server may become unreachable after that time period, especially if you reboot it. To solve that problem. just run ifconfig again and reconfigure the router to reflect the new IP._
