lighty-community-restconf-netconf-app remote access

[maurizio-lazzarini]

After successful installation and start of lighty-community-restconf-netconf-app-20.1.0 no problem to execute the http://localhost:8888/restconf/operations GET request.

Is it possible to transmit the GET from a remote PC ?
I have tried http://:8888/restconf/operations from a remote PC, where is the address of the PC running the lighty-community-restconf-netconf app but no connection was possible.

I suppose this is due to the fact that the port 8888 is configured only for local access (sudo netstat -nltp returns: 127.0.0.1:8888).
How to change tha app to allow remote access ?

Yes this can be configured here: https://github.com/PANTHEONtech/lighty/blob/main/lighty-examples/lighty-community-restconf-netconf-app/src/main/assembly/resources/sampleConfigSingleNode.json#L51.

By default it binds localhost only.

Best,

I modified the indicated file by substituting the inetAddress value from 127.0.0.1 to the static IP address of the VirtualBox machine running UBUNTU on which lighty-community-restconf-netconf-app was installed.
After the app restart the access is still possible via a local browser, but not from a browser installed on the Windows OS on which VirtualBox is installed.
The behaviour is the same I experiences before modifying the configuration file.
