restricting server to only one interface about mirror HOT 7 CLOSED

amazing, thank you!!

from mirror.

The mirror server command supports a --host option which should do what you want:

https://github.com/stephenh/mirror/blob/master/src/main/java/mirror/Mirror.java#L109

I.e. specify the IP of the network interface you want to bind on. I don't regularly use this myself, but it should work.

like no auth or certificate

Right, the current expectation is that you'd use SSH tunneling to secure the server's port. Pretty sure the readme talks about that.

oh, I wasn't aware of this, the help command doesnt mention it:

~/tmp$ ./mirror help server
NAME
mirror server - starts a server for the remote client to connect to

SYNOPSIS
mirror server [ --enable-log-file ] [ {-p | --port} ]
[ --skip-limit-checks ]

OPTIONS
--enable-log-file
enables logging debug statements to mirror.log

    -p <port>, --port <port>
        port to listen on, default: 49172

    --skip-limit-checks
        skip system file descriptor/watches checks

I don't usually skim through source code to find supported arguments :)

about ths ssh tunnel: yes, this opens a secure connection, but as soon as you start the server, it will serve all connection requests, not only the ones from localhost. (I guess this works if you limit the server to localhost via above command :)

wondering whether I have the latest version? (I downloaded from https://github.com/stephenh/mirror/releases/latest/download/mirror)

Exception in thread "main" com.github.rvesse.airline.parser.errors.ParseArgumentsUnexpectedException: Found unexpected parameters: [--host, x.x.x.x]

Oh huh, yeah, looks like --host was added very recently (at least in terms of commits), and I probably haven't done a release yet.

Can you use a build from master? I can get around to doing a release soon-ish.

ok sure, thanks for the heads up :)

Oh huh. I forgot I'd already automated the release process. "Just run the ./release command" :-). Granted, I have to run it by hand, need to get it hooked up to CI...

But anyway, there is now a v1.3.9 release with a pre-built jar/binary with the commit you're looking for on the github releases page.
