No content in the webui

[djh82uk]

Hi, I have the same issue as here: #157

I have added the API settings and listen port as on that post, and I can load the webui, but it contains no info.

It is running on a headless server

Hello @djh82uk! In which address are you accessing Web UI?

[djh82uk]

Hi, I am using http://10.0.0.245:5001/webui

[daviddias]

@djh82uk you need to use localhost:5001, it is the only address that is whitelisted (127.0.0.1 also doesn't work)

Hi, I edited the config to allow connections from other than localhost. It's a headless server so accessing from localhost is not an option. The API is also set to listen on the network IP

[djh82uk]

Anyone got any thoughts on this? I can't be the only one running it on a headless server?

i have running both ui and daemon locally, still can't connect

Editing config is not enough -- AFAIK it is hardcoded to localhost.

See:

• WebUI does not work for non local machine #591
• https://discuss.ipfs.io/t/how-can-i-enable-remote-connection-to-webui/698

This is an issue for many of us. I am VPN'ing through the server on which IPFS is running.

See #594 for my comments, and another person with a parallel issue, #637.
