[INFO] "Force IP Address" address

Hello,

I'm looking for a quick information: the "Force IP Address" setting is used to bound Serviio to a specific IP address, right?

I provided "192.168.0.254" as IP and restarted Serviio.
Here below are all the ports used by Serviio:

  Code:

java      11313     1002   30u  IPv4  21504      0t0  TCP 192.168.0.254:44331 (LISTEN)
java      11313     1002   34u  IPv4  21509      0t0  TCP *:23423 (LISTEN)
java      11313     1002   63u  IPv4  24018      0t0  TCP *:8895 (LISTEN)
java      11313     1002   64u  IPv4  24025      0t0  UDP *:1900


It looks like just the port 44331 is bounded to the specified address, while all the others are listening on all interfaces.
A similar behavior is shown by the web ui:

  Code:

java      12277     1001   31u  IPv4  23793      0t0  TCP 192.168.0.254:44333 (LISTEN)
java      12277     1001   36u  IPv4  23795      0t0  TCP *:8123 (LISTEN)


I don't have any issue with Serviio/Web UI, I'm just wondering if this is the intended behavior or if I'm missing something

Thanks in advance and Regards
Luca

yes it is, so that you can access the REST API on localhost or the external IP address

I see, thanks for the clarification...

Is there a chance to force the binding to a single interface only?
In my specific case, the box running serviio in an headless linux box acting also as router, so binding to * means it will be possible to reach it from internet.
My current firewall settings forbid such thing, so I'm fine with current behavior - I'm just curious

the 23423 port can be bound by adding -Dserviio.remoteHost system property (see support pages/faq)

cool, thanks!
