Automatic server url connection? #31

Open vijayvcm opened 2 weeks ago

vijayvcm commented 2 weeks ago

Hey @tsaridas,

Thanks for making this combined container solution.

It’s really helpful, particularly for iPhone users like me who can’t stream torrents. I can now host my web and server in the Raspberry Pi and I can stream from my mobile without any Cors/https issues.

one thing I wanted to know, Can we not configure the server IP address automatically? By default it is always 127.0.0.1

When I use it on my home network it's 192.168.. again when I switch to its VPN network it's 10.140.. and for the public its random IP address.

Is there any way we can configure the container so that it can automatically pick up the IP and resolve it based on the network we are in?

hi, i think you can setup the streaming server on the url but never tried it.

something like : 192.168.1.10:8080/?streamingServer=http%3A%2F%2F192.168.1.10%3A11470

you can ask for support in discord. maybe someone there might help or look at the web version repo to check the code.

happy to add it to the documentation if you figure it out.

i have the same setup as you and because im logged in on my iphone for example i dont need to setup the server every time. same for other devices.

@tsaridas Thanks. It worked when I used the URL you mentioned above. It automatically sets the server URL.

However, I don’t want to bookmark the URL for different networks on different devices. I am looking for something like a localhost/127.0.0.1 which will automatically establish a connection.

I am not much familiar with the docker and how the services communicating internally.

I thought localhost will automatically work since both are in the same docker container.

what I did is have an nginx open at port 80 and have the links from all the services I run. maybe you can also specify WEBUI_LOCATION env variable in docker pointing to your webplayer and logically it should automatically setup the server by pointing to the server's port instead of 8080. never tested though.
