the browser wont go to http://LedgerSMB/setup.pl
Did you tell the system on which the browser is running, which IP that 'LedgerSMB' name has? Or put it your local DNS? Also; if you're using the default setup, you should be using "https", not "http". And note (in case you don't already know) that browsers like Chromium really don't like using https with ssl certs like what we're using by default (a valid ssl cert but not one that is registered where the browser knows of), but how you get around that and still get the secure session depends on the browser. (But yes, despite such dns & ssl issues, we still recommend using secure broswer session to access the LSMB app.)
I tried adding the machines IP as the servername, but that didn't work either.
In what way did you try adding it? In the URL? For instance, although I also have LXCs/VMs running on a local server, I usually have test containers running on my laptop. And don't have the networking where those are running accessible outside of the laptop. So rather than adding the server name for the LXC to the DNS on the laptop (since the IP can change depending on what other containers have been started), I just use the IP. For example; if 10.0.0.231 is the IP, then for the LSMB setup login page I would use https://10.0.0.231/setup.pl. Or, https://10.0.0.231/login.pl for the login page. -- Robert J. Clay rjclay@gmail.com
