[Feature Request] Specify listening IP

[DerOetzi]

Hi,

I want to host openhab-cloud on one of my servers, which has several ips for different customer services. Now I noticed that openhab-cloud ist listening on all of this IPs on port 3000, which I really don't want because it although opens the possibilty to skip https secured proxy on a specific domain.

I did not find any configuration option to specify an listen ip. Can you add this option?

Thanks in advance

Johannes

Hi @DerOetzi ,

I am not sure if I got you right, but in config.json you can specify your host:

      "host": "<your-openhab-cloud-host>",
      "port": "443",
      "protocol": "https",
      "logging": "info",
      "subDomainCookies": false

Hi @marziman,

I don't think this is the right option. I try to explain a little bit more. the server I want to run openhab-cloud has several different ips

W.W.W.W internal VPN IP not reachable from WAN
X.X.X.X public.smarthome.domain.de
Y.Y.Y.Y customer1.domain.de
Z.Z.Z.Z customer2.domain.de
...

I wan't the openhab-cloud listen to https://public.smarthome.domain.de where a apache is listening as proxy to http://W.W.W.W:3000 to ssl secure the connection from the internet.

My Openhab instance at home connects although via vpn to the W.W.W.W:3000. So far, so good. But when I start the openhab-cloud on server it is although listening to http://X.X.X.X:3000 and Y.Y.Y.Y.3000 and Z.Z.Z.Z:3000 and all other customer ips. This is not what I want for two reasons. First on customer's there should never be that port 3000 and on public smarthome ip not as well because it gives the opportunity to skip the ssl proxy.

If I see it right for openhab-cloud express server is used inside the app for presenting the http-protocol and it is initialized only with the PORT set in env or default 3000

var server = app.listen(app.get('port'), function () { logger.info('openHAB-cloud: express server listening on port ' + app.get('port')); });
I think there should be the option to set IP as well something like

var server = app.listen({host:app.get('host'),port:app.get('port')}, function () { logger.info('openHAB-cloud: express server listening on port ' + app.get('port')); });
