For instance; I have the v1.5.24 version of the ledgersmb-1.5 pkg (from the apt.ledgersmb.org pkg repo) installed in a Debian v9.6 container (I use LXC) on my laptop, which I used to do a quick test of that pkg version before I made it generally available. There 'starman' (which is running LSMB) is showing like this:
root@lsmbtest:~# netstat -tnlp|grep 5762 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5762 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 99/starman master - tcp6 0 0 ::1:5762 :::* LISTEN 99/starman master -
tcp 0 127.0.0.1:5762 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 328/starman master tcp6 0 0 ::1:5762 :::* LISTEN 328/starman master
Very good; that indeed indicates that the LSMB application itself is available where it is supposed to be.
Thanks for the reply. Ok, so that's good that it's installed and behaving so far.
Since I didn't feel like changing it to the network IP in the systemd unit (although that is doable, it gets changed back if the pkg is updated), I just used the varnish proxy (in this case, installed & configured using the ledgersmb-varnish pkg)., which made it available on the network IP up on port 6081. That shows like this:
I'm sorry, I don't follow this section: Proxy's are all new to me.
In our case, we use a reverse proxy, where another web application listens for http requests from a users browser (usually on the standard http ports), sends them to the LSMB application, then sends what LMSB returns back to the users browser. One can use, for instance; apache, nginx, or lighttpd as the web proxy as we support all three; emphasizing https connections for it of course. I understand that you have apache already installed? .Then installing the 'ledgersmb-1.5-apache' pkg would be useful to you; that attempts to auto configure apache to be uses as a web proxy for LSMB. Including to https connections but you'll to update the config specifically for 'ServerName'.apache config item. (In /etc/apache2/sites-available/ledgersmb-1.5-proxy.conf.)
Would you like me to install ledgersmb-1.5-apache? My understanding is we
then have to configure it?
