That's assuming you've got JourneyX running and configured. I know
nothing about JourneyX, but you can check. Run this command as
superuser.
netstat -pant
You should see a line that says 0.0.0.0:8080 for the local address and
JourneyX for the process.

If it's just one *nix client box, edit the file /etc/hosts and put
your server's IP address into it.
12.34.56.78 myserver.example.com
(Get your IP address by running "ip addr" on the server.)
There's probably a way to give Winders a static host table entry, but
I don't know it. I just spent a few minutes clicking through the
control panels but didn't see anything.
If you want to access the server from many clients, then you'll want a
DNS server. Setting up a DNS server is tricky, but maybe your home
firewall/router has one built in. In any case, add the host/IP
address pair to the DNS server. There are a million different DNS
servers out there, each with its own admin interface, so feel free to
ask about a particular server if that's what you need.
BikeFriday certainly already has an internal DNS server(s). To find
it, type "dig any-existing-server.bikefriday.com". Look near the
bottom for "SERVER:".
DNS is a big topic.
