localhost:8888 is ok but not from a remote pc

[tklauw]

Hi,
I may have missed something but installation was completed without error and I could access and use CALDERA from localhost without any problem. However, when trying from a remote PC, I could see the login screen but could not even login. It just keeps on showing the Login screen in a loop. CALDERA 5.0, using the "default.yml" config file on Ubuntu 22.04LTS.
Anyone has any idea? Thanks!

Ack on this issue, seeing the same thing when installing from docker.

You might need to tweak the VITE_CALDERA_URL environment variable in the magma plugin. If your remote PC's IP is 172.18.0.2, you'll need to create file plugins/magma/.env:

VITE_CALDERA_URL=http://172.18.0.2:8888

Then run server.py with --build.

Added the above to /plugins/magma/.env and built with Docker, however I end up running into the same issue where the login page is simply stuck.

Doesn't work for me. Still the same issue. Any other idea guys? Thanks!

First, kill the server or else these changes will not take effect.

Ensure that within local.yml you have changed these lines to the IP address of the machine that the caldera server is deployed on. You will not use the IP address of the remote machine for any of the Caldera server configurations.

app.contact.http: http://<YOUR-CALDERA-SERVER-IP:<YOUR-CALDERA-SERVER-PORT-NUMBER>
app.contact.ftp.host: http://<YOUR-CALDERA-SERVER-IP>
app.frontend.api_base_url: http://<YOUR-CALDERA-SERVER-IP:<YOUR-CALDERA-SERVER-PORT-NUMBER>
host: http://<YOUR-CALDERA-SERVER-IP>

This should automatically configure the magma .env variables for you as well.

Once this file is saved, boot up Caldera with the following command:
python3 server.py -E local --build

@tklauw any luck?

[rcegan]

No luck on any of the above. Bug persists.

No luck on any of the above. Bug persists.

This bug has seemed to persist since the release of 5.x. I'm in the same boat and have tried many things to get it to work....

This worked for me, excluding the ftp contact. That one I discarded because of an error in the building:

app.contact.http: http://<YOUR-CALDERA-SERVER-IP:<YOUR-CALDERA-SERVER-PORT-NUMBER>
app.frontend.api_base_url: http://<YOUR-CALDERA-SERVER-IP:<YOUR-CALDERA-SERVER-PORT-NUMBER>

This works if you're doing a basic deploy on a vm or physical host like the stone ages.

Doing this in docker swarm or kubernetes doesn't work.
