Ports or direct links to apps?
Posted: Tue Jun 06, 2017 9:26 pm
Recently upgraded to Amahi 10, and I'm glad to say everything seems to be working. I did run into trouble trying the upgrade path, but the clean install went off without a hitch. Now that it's up and running I've tried installing some utilities like Greyhole LogMon, Greyhole Disk Utilization and eZ Server Monitor.
I am currently using pfsense as my router, and I am not inclined to change my DHCP server because I have invested a good bit of time creating DHCP leases for all of my devices. The router also has a VPN that requires me to configure bypasses for certain IP addresses so I prefer to manage all this in one place.
I have entered my HDA IP for the pfsense DNS server. With this configuration none of the utilities work at all. I entered the full address, http://ghlog.mydomain.net/ but all I get for all three apps using Chrome is a blank white screen. I don't get a DNS or 404 error, it just sits there at a blank white screen. This doesn't seem like a browser issue since the apps also produce a blank white screen using Opera.
For testing purposes, I did temporarily change the DNS and DHCP to the HDA. When I did this, all of the apps worked as expected. Unfortunately, as stated above I don't like this as a permanent solution.
I have past experience with dashboard links that don't work. Specifically with Plex, but it was easy to find the port so I could link directly to Plex. The workaround for this was fairly simple, just creating a link to the HDA IP plus the port number. Can I do the same with these other apps?
If so, is there a way to find the ports for each app?
I tried to find ports in the wiki and forums, but the only info I found was a 2 year old list that did not include any of the apps above.
