[Koha] accessing my OPAC

What did you try?

Since I don't know what instructions you followed, I can't be sure what 
to answer.

However I'd recommend to choose Debian GNU/Linux as the operating 
system, then follow https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian 
for starters.

Unfortunately web access is a quite difficult business, so I won't go 
into things like internal/external IP address, IP ranges, DNS, SSL 
certificates, firewalling etc. However, basically, if you installed on a 
host with the IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, then

* your Koha OPAC will be accessible via http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (or, in 
fact, http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 )

* your Koha staff interface will be accessible via 
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080

Hope that helps.

Best wishes: Michael
