Web Control Remote Access

Post by hardmod »

Hi everybody,

I've got a folding client running on an remote Ubuntu machine.
I just learned there is a web interface that can be activated, listening to port 7396.

Currently it's only whitelisted for internal IPs, so I can only use it while being connected via VPN.
Is there any native way to ask for credentials and make it use SSL? Or do I have to install a webserver for this and forward internally?

Furthermore there is a little issue on the webclient.

Right next to the "Any desease" dropdown there is a "Loading...." text that does not load anything.
If you have a look at this screenshot: https://foldingathome.org/wp-content/up ... 00x393.png
The "loading..." is at the place where you can see "Choose a username to earn points" at the screenshot (obviously i'm logged in)

//EDIT: Regarding issue 2 I did some investigations.
There is an API call for foldingathome.org/stats.py that leads to an 404.
I found the source at https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-we ... js/main.js and actually the call should lead to apps.folingathome.org, so I suppose this is an older version.
I installed version 7.4.4 as mentioned in the official documentation.
Where can I find the new version?
Until then: Can anybody tell me where I can find the web control source files on ubuntu? I would like to change the url, but I cant find the webroot, which is strange.

//EDIT2: I found the package for 7.5.1 here https://download.foldingathome.org/rele ... 4bit/v7.5/
Issue 2 is gone now. So I'm "only" looking for a possibility to put authentication and ssl on the webinterface to make it public availale

Thanks!

THanks for your explanations, I've managed to get a remote control system of my own with your guidelines. It had been more and more pressing as I've got both the opportunity to start doing part of my work from home in the future, and to get my hands on one of these houses in Greece for the holidays... I quickly put 2 + 2 together and suddenly really wanted to master PC remote control technologies :mrgreen: and now, I wouldn't say it's done, but I'm definitely on the right path.
