A different port option for the admin sites

[siege_king]

Hi everyone,
it would be nice to have an option to set the port of the admin sites. So that I could only open a port for sharing music over the internet and not my admin site.

You don’t have to do that. 🙄
The admin site port is an option in firefly’s config file.

If you are talking about using FirePlay to “share” the music then you simply need your own webserver on any other port, and not using firefly’s embedded one.

Maybe I’m blind, but I only see a port for listening to itunes, not for the webserver. Here is part of my mt-daapd.conf:

[general]

#
# web_root (required)
#
# Location of the admin web pages. If you installed from
# ipk, this is correct
#

web_root = /shares/mss-hdd/__opt/share/mt-daapd/admin-root

#
# port (required)
#
# What port to listen on. It is possible to use a different
# port, but this is the default iTunes port
#

port = 3689

#
# admin_pw (required)
#
# This is the password to the administrative pages
#
# YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CHANGE THIS
#

admin_pw = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Or do I change that somewhere else?
Got svn1696

Thanks for helping me!

The admin port and the sharing port are the same because it’s essentially free. Moving it to another port would be another listener, and it would be fatter.

It’s doable, but I just never considered it because it seemed too fat. Maybe a decent compromise would be putting tcpwrapper-like controls over the admin pages.
