WebUI does not work for non local machine #591
Comments
@dsvi that intended and is a security protection mechanism to make sure that you can't have access to admin features outside of your local machine :) Hope this clarifies |
Not really, no. More confuses, than clarifies. |
@diasdavid what specific security concerns would there be if the webui wasn't hardcoded to work with localhost only? edit: seems like /Config and adding files via /Files would be the concerns. Many of us just want to use /Files to look up info about a file - seems like that functionality could be exposed to work with remote hosts without exposing any vulnerabilities, no? this may be something we could lend some development cycles to implementing if its the right direction to take things |
See: #836 |
The WebUI, returned by
<IPFS API URL>/webui
has hardcodedlocalhost
in it. So it doesn't really work for any other machine thanlocalhost
It should take the API address from the go-ipfs config, not just force it to be
localhost
