How to use the webUI for Heritrix remotely


Hello I have been playing with Heritrix, and would like to include it on a website/allow remote web access to it.

I have a Linux based server where I have a hosted webpage, and I have built a version of Heritrix.

The issue is I am at home now and would like to be able to offer access to the webUI in Heritrix via the hosted webpage.

I looked through the manual and discovered the -b command to bind it to remote hosts however the documentation could be better.

So what I was hoping for was a little explanation/elaboration on how this command works and if it would be possible to bind the webUI to existing webpage

Thanks for your time in advance

Solution

  • You should use -b <public ip address> like -b 192.168.1.1
