Amahi Access for Friends
Posted: Tue Apr 14, 2009 6:13 pm
Hi All,
A few questions regarding a remote webpage interface...
I know the HDA can be accessed remotely via VPN...I'd also love to set it up as a webserver (I chose the webserver feature on the Fedora 9 install) so that friends can access it over the internet via my domain name. I'd like to throw up a webpage of my own design to greet visitors, with my own links to shares, etc. Is this possible?
Assuming I created a domain name of mystuff.com during the Amahi install, what would friends be typing into their address bar to access the site? Can anyone tell me where I'd put my "index" & other files for the page?
Also guess I'd need to allow port forwarding on a router port?
Are people doing this and if so should they be doing it? It sounds cool but also invites some special security concerns I'm sure. Lots of questions I know...appreciate the patience.
Thanks to the Amahi Team!!
