Documentation - Default lprint server port is 8000 #90

Closed brianbarr closed 5 months ago

brianbarr commented 1 year ago

Currently testing lprint v1.2 on a new debian 11 vm under VMware ESXi.

Two issues thus far .. lprint sort of expects the avahi snap to be installed prior to installing lprint on linux via snap and complains if it isn't. So the docs should probably reflect that.

Also the docs show this installation sequence: sudo snap install core (if you haven't already done so) sudo snap install lprint sudo snap connect lprint:raw-usb sudo snap start lprint.lprint-server

The docs do not mention that the resulting lprint server web interface created has a default port of 8000 so the docs should probably be changed to reflect that as well.

lsof -nP -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME lprint 628 root 6u IPv4 13454 0t0 TCP :8000 (LISTEN) lprint 628 root 7u IPv6 13455 0t0 TCP :8000 (LISTEN) sshd 711 root 3u IPv4 13010 0t0 TCP :22 (LISTEN) sshd 711 root 4u IPv6 13021 0t0 TCP :22 (LISTEN)

Whether Avahi is provided as a snap or a system package is an implementation detail - not something I can easily document. Moreover, most of the desktop Linux distros install Avahi by default... (I know bare Debian is an exception to this)

Also, the default port is assigned dynamically, starting at 8000.

This is what the documentation says:

  • "-o server-port=NNN": Sets the network port number; the default is randomly assigned starting at 8000.
