Question

I recently installed Typesafe Activator to a VM. Applications created by activator can be accessed after port forwarding, but Activator seems to listen localhost. How to change this to WAN?

Was it helpful?

Solution

It looks like setting system properties http.address and http.port will now do this job, e.g.

./activator -Dhttp.address=0.0.0.0 -Dhttp.port=80 

Would launch Activator on a WAN on port 80 (assuming matching permissions, etc).

OTHER TIPS

It is hardcoded right now and there's no way to change short of recompiling from source. https://github.com/typesafehub/activator/blob/master/ui/app/activator/UIMain.scala#L99

Maybe we could prefix this with if (System.getProperty("http.address") == null) File an issue on github?

Update: this is now fixed so that -Dhttp.address works (and above source link no longer goes to the right place)

Base on Michael Nash's answer, but should be

./activator ui -Dhttp.address=0.0.0.0 -Dhttp.port=80

for version 1.2.10
