So I installed go-ipfs on a vbox Ubuntu VM… Was able to add a file to ipfs. List peers, etc.  
Not able to access via webui from my LAN?  
But what exactly is the difference between js-ipfs and go-ipfs?

Do you have a connection to the internet?

js-ipfs is written in JavaScript. go-ipfs is written in go.

The go-ipfs is on my LAN Virtual Machine a 192.168.0.50 IP. I am using bridged network on Ubuntu 16.04 Server. I can ping [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com)

I had some issues installing js-ipfs so I went with go-ipfs.
