RailControl Forum

Hey Teddy,

I don't want Railcontrol to be availible in my network to anybody. Is there a configuration option to make Railcontrol listen on localhost only? If not, would it be possible to add it?

Thanks

Mebus

Hi Mebus

Unfortunately there is no such option. But it is a very interesting question and it definitely makes sense to implement such an option.

I moved the topic to "Wishes and Ideas" to not forget to implement it.

Hi Teddy,

great!. While your already working on this topic, maybe HTTP Basic Auth would also be nice to have for the Web-UI. If that's not possible - if you at least implement the localhost thing - I could put an nginx proxy in front of it

Hallo Teddy,

I went through the source a little bit and added a configuration option to make it either listen to all addresses (::) or to localhost only (::1) !

https://github.com/teddych/railcontrol/pull/1

I have a little problem with the "LoggingServer". It is used before the configuration has been read How can we work around this What is the LoggingServer used for?

At the moment it can only be restricted to localhost. Might be nice, if we could parse other IPv4 and IPv6 addresses there, too .

Thanks

Hi Mebus

Thanks a lot for your contribution!
I have added some comments to the merge request. Only minor issues, but I would like to have them fixed before I merge it to the source code.

Tanks

Hey Teddy,

yes, that's no problem. I will probably look into it on the weekend.

Hi Mebus

Thank you very much vor your contribution!

I have merged your contribution to the master. It is visible now on GitHub.

In the official Version 20 it is still missing, because I already started to build the official release. But I think for you this is not a problem you can build it on your own.

Thanks again
Teddy
