Osharts Provider listens only under localhost #22

Closed qMalte closed 2 years ago

qMalte commented 2 years ago

Hello all,

I have the osharts server only listening on the hostname: localhost or 127.0.0.1. Therefore I can't call it via a client under the private IP of the Raspberry PI. Is the error known by chance? The installation of avnav was done via OpenPlotter.

I am looking forward to your suggestions and ideas.

Many greetings

Malte

Could you provide some more details? So how you tested this and how you checked the listening address?

When I call avnav directly on the Raspberry PI (http://localhost:8080), everything works fine. However, when I call avnav on a client (tablet) under the IP: 192.168.123.200:8080, avnav works but without the osharts plugin.

Hmm- looks strange. Not sure if there is any firewall in between... The only thing that will not work at all: Access to o-charts from a routed network. This is a legal issue (license restrictions of the charts). So you must ensure to access them from a net that is directly connected to the pi. Can you check this (you can use ip addr show on the pi). So as long as you are connected to the access point provided by the pi or from a network that is only using a switch - it should work. Additionally there is a limit of 5 simultaneous clients.
