Since I was the machines in Huygens via SSH, I had to go out of the way to be able to access the Zeppelin UI from my own local browser.
For this purpose I made use of the tool ngrok that was downloaded and unzipped to the home folder of my HG account using
wget https://bin.equinox.io/c/4VmDzA7iaHb/ngrok-stable-linux-amd64.zip
unzip ngrok-stable-linux-amd64.zip
Then, it was launched to forward to the localhost using ./ngrok http 9001, and the docker container was started on the matching port as well.
Ngrok creates randomized http and https addresses, effectively allowing access to a local host, publicly. Then the generated http address was opened up in the local laptop browser.
