Open index.html
file in any modern web browser which you like. For example, in Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
Depending on your use case Web UI may need some configuration, see below.
If you do not want to control eiskaltdcpp-daemon
from remote PC and would like to be sure that remote control is disabled you should launch eiskaltdcpp-daemon
like this:
eiskaltdcpp-daemon.exe -L 127.0.0.1 -d
In this case Web UI do not need extra configuration and you may use it as is.
If you set external IP address in command-line options of eiskaltdcpp-daemon
like this:
eiskaltdcpp-daemon.exe -L 192.168.0.132 -d
than connections to eiskaltdcpp-daemon
will be possible only via 192.168.0.132
IP address.
In this case connections via 127.0.0.1
will not work you should edit Web UI configuration file config.js
in any modern text editor (for example, in Notepad++
). Find value of host
variable and change this string to something like this:
"host" : "192.168.0.132",
Of course IP address will be different in your case. After saving of config file do not forget to reload page with Web UI in your web browser.
In this case launching command should look like this:
eiskaltdcpp-daemon.exe -L 0.0.0.0 -d
This is the less secure way of lauching eiskaltdcpp-daemon
, becase it may be controlled from remote PC in your local network (or even from remote PC via Internet if you connected to Internet directly and have white IPv4 address) without notifying you.
You have to Google how to setup and configure web server in your system.
For example related part nginx
config may look like this:
server {
listen 80 default;
listen [::]:80 default;
location / {
root C:/eiskaltdcpp/web-ui;
index index.html;
}
}
Using IP address from example above Web UI should be available at: http://192.168.0.132/
