can not see web page

[xiuliren]

I started DVID server on a remote workstation with dvid serve ~/.dvid/config-wasptrace.toml, but can not see the webpage. I am using VPN to access the server, but this should not matter I guess.

my toml config file

[logging]
logfile = "/home/jwu/.dvid/log"
max_log_size = 100 # MB
max_log_age = 7   # days

[backend]
    [backend.default]
    store = "main"
    log = "mutationlog"

[store]
    [store.main]
    engine = "basholeveldb"
    path = "db/main"
    # path = "/mnt/ceph/users/neuro/wasp_em/jwu/02_dvid/db/main"

    [store.mutationlog]
    engine = "filelog"
    path = "db/mutationlog"
    #path = "/mnt/ceph/users/neuro/wasp_em/jwu/02_dvid/db/mutationlog"

I tried to view the webpage to the myhost:8000, but can not access.

This site can’t be reached
myhost refused to connect.

works by using http rather than https

Yes, currently the DVID server uses http and if we want https or more elaborate management, we front it using nginx. In the future we move to https support within DVID itself by upgrading the http package framework used.
