Connecting to "virtual" web interface from the host

[notrurs]

Hi! I installed mellivora via docker. When I try to connect to web interface inside virtual machine, all OK

But! If I try to do the same from host machine, page layout breaks.

What should I do, that everything is displayed as it should with this connection? Maybe there is some ip settings for docker containers depending on host's ip?

You'll need to set MELLIVORA_CONFIG_SITE_URL and MELLIVORA_CONFIG_SITE_URL_STATIC_RESOURCES to your virtual machine IP (or hostname) in include/config/config.inc.php.

Thank you!

I have Ubuntu 19.04 on VirtualBox that is running Mellivora via docker. If I connect to another network, the ip of the virtual machine will change. How to set MELLIVORA_CONFIG_SITE_URL and MELLIVORA_CONFIG_SITE_URL_STATIC_RESOURCES, that in this case the ip address is inserted itself and does not have to be set by myself?

I tried $HOSTNAME, $_SERVER[SERVER_ADDR] and sevaral other options. From outside either failed to connect, or page layout breaks.

At the moment, the best intermediate solution I have found for myself is create global variable $SERVER_IP before start docker-compose:

IP="$(ip addr show enp0s3  | awk '$1 == "inet" { print $2 }' | cut -d/ -f1)"
export SERVER_IP=${IP}
sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
echo '----------------'
echo 'USE THIS IP:' $SERVER_IP
echo '----------------'

And then I set MELLIVORA_CONFIG_SITE_URL and MELLIVORA_CONFIG_SITE_URL_STATIC_RESOURCES to $SERVER_IP:

Config::set('MELLIVORA_CONFIG_SITE_URL', $SERVER_IP);
Config::set('MELLIVORA_CONFIG_SITE_URL_STATIC_RESOURCES', $SERVER_IP);

But, if I connect, e.g. 192.168.0.169, from another computer I see this:

Seems like OK (despite the mistake), but if I login, page layout breaks:

I guess I'm on the wrong way to solve this problem.

What I should do? Probably, this is solved several times easier.

If someone is faced with the same problem, here is the solution I reached. First of all, you need at least python 3.6.

I created insert_ip.py in same directory with config.inc.php. Don't forget to change path

from sys import argv

ip = argv[1]

with open('/home/notrurs/mellivora/include/config/config.default.inc.php', 'r') as f:
    data = f.readlines()

data[41] = f"Config::set('MELLIVORA_CONFIG_SITE_URL', 'http://{ip}/');"
data[42] = f"Config::set('MELLIVORA_CONFIG_SITE_URL_STATIC_RESOURCES', 'http://{ip}/');"

with open('/home/notrurs/mellivora/include/config/config.default.inc.php', 'w') as f:
    f.write(''.join(data))

print("Input ip done!")

And then start.sh in mellivora dir. Don't forget to change interface in line 1:

IP="$(ip addr show enp0s3  | awk '$1 == "inet" { print $2 }' | cut -d/ -f1)"
export SERVER_IP=${IP}
python3 ./include/config/insert_ip.py $SERVER_IP
sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
echo "------------------------"
echo "USE THIS IP:" $SERVER_IP
echo "------------------------"

Now you just should input ./start.sh and mellivora will run
